Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

absolutely moronic article. also incredibly insensitive to start it out by basically saying "RIP to those cyclists who died but these plans wouldn't have saved them anyway." the inquirer is horrible

yea it would've been awesome. i'm also pretty sure that henry ave bridge has tunnels built into it for the subway. it's a shame it never came to fruition :( also is there more info on the concourse for the art museum?

agreed. you could run light rail on the outer lanes but there's also an abandoned subway tunnel under the parkway iirc

Been on Bluesky for a few days now so I figured it was time to share this fantasy project I made. I call it: The P. For the Pink Line. It would start in Manayunk, run down through
Brewerytown to the Art Museum, take the Broad-Ridge Spur tracks to 8th St, then go on🧡

Also I've always thought that Manayunk should be served by some sort of rapid transit, and a subway there would be awesome. Once again, this is just a fantasy project for fun, but l'd love to hear feedback on it!

East South Philly desperately needs more reliable transit options, as it is one of, if not the most, dense areas of Philly besides Center City. IIRC the most popular bus route in Philly runs through these neighborhoods, so l thought it was a no brainer to include them.

down 5th St all the way to Oregon Ave. I created this cool lil mock up of what the train could look like and what the Lehigh Station could look like.
Original photo is a LA Metro render. This wasn't just made up too, I tried to base it on useful info...

This is so rad- someone living next to a bus stop in Philly programmed an old clock to let folks know when the next bus is coming.
