I feel the attitude toward expanding rail transit is all wrong. It shouldn't be take the train to the pepole but if you build it they will come.That is an excellent point. That's a big part of transit-oriented development, and it's something leaders here in Philly really need to be aware of. We could really use two or three more subway lines, but at the same time, we could do a lot more with the ones we have. We could foster development around underutilized stations on the Broad Street subway and the Market-Frankford el. But no, here any regulations on development seem to exist only so pols can charge developers to waive them. So we put new developments in absoutely anywhere, then fret about where we'll put all the additional auto traffic. Ugh. |
