Work started this week to repair U District Station’s leaky ceilings. Contractors have temporarily closed portions of the sidewalk and bike lane in front the station complex on Brooklyn Avenue NE. John Gallagher, a Sound Transit spokesperson, said that contractors are expected to wrap up repairs in about a month.
