dcipir and PB:
There is a way to tell if one looks at the floor in the southwest passageway where the staircases to
the Market Street Subway (as the directional signs read) once were - you can see the difference in
the stone work in how it was matched to the original.
CV: Good link showing the 30th Street southwest connection plan showing how elaborate that this
new connecting concourse will eventually be. Another large change will be the relocation of parking
away from the structure along with the driveways alongside the west entrance. This is looking to be
a long term construction project that will transform most of the perimeter around the building along
with better pedestrian access between all rail and transit modes present.
About SEPTA RRD gating: At 8:00 PM weekdays the station attendants go off duty and the gates are
opened for free access to the station platforms (6 PM Saturday, Sunday and major holidays) for all
riders. I give SEPTA credit for at least being open about the hours when gating at the CCP stations
is enforced. If and when gating hours get further extended I expect SEPTA to keep us informed...
