PennDOT will attempt to make Oxford Circle safer with the Roosevelt Boulevard Tomorrow project. The proposed shared path (shaded in purple) will connect directly to the future protected bicycle lanes on Castor Avenue! There will also be plenty of space left for the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway!

Arlington, Massachusetts is an example of what could happen to Bensalem if we do not get the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway to Neshaminy. www.wbur.org/news/2026/09...

Arlington blocked a Red Line extension decades ago. Now, the town wants to revive the idea
Repealing the 1980 law doesn't guarantee the Red Line will be extended.

Yup Anti-New Deal Republicans. So much more could have been built.

If this is actually the plan for the future of the Neshaminy Mall site, we’re ok with it. While this plan isn’t ideal, it leaves the door open for a future suburban retrofit once the Boulevard Subway eventually makes it there.

Snyder Station's Art Deco details are beautiful. This was funded by the New Deal!

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.

Yes, PennDOT is focused on the mid-term stuff and they are moving slowly on Long-term stuff.

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.

Its only above ground in Far Northeast where the density is lower. Middle of the road stations are a must because the majority of the stations will be built in Roosevelt Blvd's median.

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.

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.

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.

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.
