as an example of investing in Philadelphia. Yet trolley modernization isn’t something new; it is a long overdue update to an existing service. Philadelphia will certainly benefit from new, accessible trolleys, but they should have been here years ago.
Sadly, deferred maintenance on city transit infrastructure is routine. While riders at suburban stations, city residents make do without. Neither of the city’s heavy rail systems is fully compliant with the 33-year-old Americans with Disabilities Act, either. Far from making the El and Broad Street Line stations as comfortable as possible, SEPTA has allowed them to slip into a state of disrepair. Old City residents have complained that the Second Street station has become a somewhat permanent encampment for people experiencing homelessness. South Philadelphians have cited the Snyder Avenue station as increasingly hazardous.
Bc other board members short change philly every time even tho most of the people live in Philly … just look at the ride number for each project and then guess which one they picked
We deserve better!
Would you in your right mind invest in the city.
Who in k o p want more Philadelphians to have easier access
