How about this idea:
1]Extend The BSS up Roosevelt Blvd to Woodhaven, then turn east on Woodhaven to Franklin Mills Mall.
Stations: 9th, 5th, Rising Sun, Adams-Friends Hospital, Oxford Circle, Bustleton-Harbison, Cottman, Rhawn-Nazareth Hospital, Welsh Rd, Grant Ave, Red Lion Rd, Comly Rd, on the Blvd, then Thornton Rd, Academy Rd, and Franklin Mills on Woodhaven Rd.
2]Build a branch of the MFSE [branching off I-95 and Front St] on an el above I-95 [no Nimbys] up to the Cornwells Heights P/R [underutilized now], then turn west to Franklin Mills, meting the BSS at one huge terminal.
Stations: Penn Treaty-Aramingo, Allegheny, Bridge St, Tacony-Palmyra, Cottman, Correction Center, Torresdale, Cornwells Heights, then turn west over Woodhaven to Franklin Mills.
In both cases both extensions should be elevated. Much easier on the costs. An aesthetically pleasing el design will work wonders.
What do you think of that plan?
