SEPTA Honored for Reconstruction Of 110-Year-Old Transit Hub
The Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia recently honored the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) with a 2014 Preservation Achievement Award for its 33rd and Dauphin Bus Loop Project. The alliance called the project “a historic turnaround” that delivers benefits to the neighborhood it serves.
“The partnership between SEPTA and the community was key to making this project a success,” said SEPTA General Manager Joseph M. Casey. “The input and assistance we received from neighbors was critical throughout this process.”
SEPTA’s goal for the project was to modernize a 110-year-old transit hub while preserving its historical value. A $4 million FTA grant funded the one-year project.
To maintain the site’s historic value, the new bus loop incorporates original brick and masonry, distinctive cherubs that have long marked the facade, and recycled decorative cornice trim. The facility provides enhanced access for persons with disabilities and includes sustainable features such as a green roof.
