Route for Change Tomorrow Meetings are coming soon! Hope to see you there

Imagine a Roosevelt Boulevard Subway station at North 9th Street anchoring a major redevelopment, with a restored Wingohocking creek as its centerpiece.

We want to be clear, we are not waiting for SEPTA's plan to be completed to lunch the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway. We will continue to push for Accleration of its Design and Engineering to get it shovel ready. More greatness to come!

The 2040 PEL study times the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway using a 23.2 mph average speed. That number was carried over from a study published in 2003. We rebuilt the timetable from actual Broad Street Line train performance. The line runs 13 minutes faster than forecast.

We are releasing a new Roosevelt Boulevard Subway report tomorrow! Stay tuned for that.

Boulevard Tomorrow will improve the street network around N. 9th Street, realigning the roadway to make crossings safer and adding a new shared-use path.

The Roosevelt Boulevard Subway has very solid ridership numbers.

Today, I submitted the following public comment to the Philadelphia Planning Commission expressing my support for the @blvdsubway.bsky.social.

Our housing organizer Dr. Jay Arzu was on @nbcphiladelphia.com to discuss the Roosevelt Boulevard subway and what we need to do as a city to prepare for federal funding.

The future Castor Ave protected Bike lanes will connect to a proposed shared use Sidepath on Roosevelt Boulevard.

A strong showing at the City Planning Commission today. Northeast Philadelphia and Bucks County made it clear: we want the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway. Thank you to everyone who came out and spoke up.

Have you noticed that the announcements say Westbound or Eastbound L1?

11th Street Station has been stripped down to its core, its ready for its year long close.

We wanted to take a moment to Congratulate our Executive Director Dr. Jay Arzu on winning the Dissertation of the Year in Planning for his dissertation, The Roosevelt Boulevard Subway: A Century of Promise, Politics, and Persistence (1913-2026). www.acsp.org/page/Arzu2026

Erie Station is at the halfway point of its renovation and it looks like a mess but once it's done it will look great and have elevators.

Whatever Alternative is chosen, the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway will not be deep. That is a major victory for our advocacy. PennDOT will be coming back soon.

Race-Vine Station is clean and very large. It has two separate mezzanines at the north and south ends of the station. The mezzanine was originally one continuous space, but it was divided into its current arrangement when the Vine Street Expressway was built.

SEPTA Police Officers are jacked and ready to give you a ticket. Pay your fare!

Kensington High School's 400+ students will spend the fall commuting seven miles to a shuttered middle school in Northeast because of asbestos. The Roosevelt Boulevard Subway is what turns an emergency like this into a manageable ride.

North Philadelphia station is clean, ADA compliant well maintained. In the future Express Trains and the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway (B4) should stop here again.

In one year, 11th Street Station will be transformed into a modern, ADA-compliant facility.

Tickets are now available to the general public for our @nerd4cities.bsky.social live event next month! Get yours here: www.5thsqadvocacy.org/citynerd

Love to see 👀 stations get fully renovated. 11th Street will be closed for an entire year!

SEPTA is already doing small work removing the dated yellow tiles at 11th Street Station. It will close Sept 5th for a year of renovation work that will also add elevators to the station.

Very glad that the City of Philadelphia put the L and Trolleys underground.

When the Schuylkill Valley Metro faltered, a task force was convened to salvage it. Among its recommendations was an extension of the Norristown High Speed Line into the King of Prussia mall district. A spur conceived as a feeder to a regional line that was never built acquired a life of its own.
