Continuing to dedicate attention and effort toward the KoP Rail project, which I'm beginning to suspect might be too inherently cost ineffective for FTA to agree to fund, while leaving a larger, more ambitious but actively ignoring far higher value project reflects rather other than well upon the 'powers that be' in Southeastern Pennsylvania, not that we didn't already know.
Meanwhile, SEPTA is having a twitter poll (yeah, yeah, big deal, Twitter isn't real life et cetera) on the most anticipated projects. Things could turn around in the last hour, but it doesn't seem to be going KOP Rail's way. (To be clear, the other three projects are good ones; I voted for Reimagining Regional Rail myself)

Does this apply to the ATV things as well? 1am weekends near the parkway are horrible.

Yeah, you. And if you already do, then don't complain about city life because you don't live in the city

can you share projections that Northeast Philadelphia is going to stop declining? If any subway extension happened would it make sense to build it to the navy yard where literal thousands of new jobs and new apartments are about to be built?

Did you mean to leave a digit off of the phone number?

Shame on them for making you confirm your comment with an email link. That's purposefully making it difficult to share an opinion with them

Replace the asphalt street surface with cobblestone or Belgian block. 1) To slow cars, e-bikes, etc and 2) it looks nice!

Try having a car horn honk a hundred feet from you with nothing between you and it, all day long. If you are okay with living like that, that's on you.

Both. The real answer is both.
Roosevelt Blvd has the support, and possibly the funding, to create a great mass transit network that could fix a number of serious issues with that area.
We need better zoning and better pedestrian areas, but there's no point in doing only one set. It literally needs to be both improving existing infrastructure and expanding it to places where it could do the most good.

Urbanists should really focus on towns and neighborhoods up zoning and pedestrianizing the areas around the regional rail stations. The Roosevelt Blvd is a pipe dream.

Speed strips down the block. We've had multiple accidents this year, including one that sent a fire hydrant into a home.

When i cant sleep sometimes i look at concert listings and look up every headliner I dont know, listen to a few of their most popular songs. At my age its mostly all of them. I fall asleep and forget all about them so I have yet to “find” new music for myself. But I do fall asleep.
