SEPTA Launches Reconstruction of Key Transit Hub
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) kicked off a thorough overhaul of a major transit hub in West Philadelphia at a May 23 event attended by local officials and neighborhood leaders.
When the $1.8 million capital program initiative is complete in spring 2017, the 61st and Pine Bus Loop Improvement Project will result in the full reconstruction of this key facility, with safety enhancements and added accessibility. The bus loop is a terminus point for one of SEPTA’s busiest bus routes, with an average daily ridership of nearly 13,000. Elements of the overhaul will include:
• Features to make it more accessible and to comply with ADA;
• Energy-efficient lighting and improved security features;
• An open-air passenger waiting shelter;
• Amenities including bike racks and fencing; and
• Landscaping and new signage.
The project is part of the overall “Rebuilding the SEPTA System” capital improvement plan funded through Pennsylvania Act 89, which provides a dedicated source of funding for transportation improvements throughout the commonwealth.
