The powers to be are reviewing a proposal from the "redevelopment" authority to move the Willow Grove train station away from downtown further up the line about 200 yards and move a flower shop to the corner property for better "view and business access”.
The plan may reduce the present parking both at the station and the secondary lot.
Interesting, that the “developer” is the same person that is proposing the value of the transportation hub for Bellmawr.. Ok to have a train station hub for NJ but not for WG since the value of the land is really of great value. The increased passenger count at the station would result for the redevelopment, moving the station would remove it from the “Grand Plan”.
Early stages but appears the developers see added value in that corner property, but do not care if they remove the train service from downtown planning?
I hope SEPTA understands the value of the present location and if they sell off the station get a fair market value and replace it with an “Oak Lane” type station with equal or improved parking that will fit into the redevelopment plan.
