  1. YEESSSSS!!!!!!! Thank god. An extension on the BSL that goes under the Rosevelt Blvd would cost the same. We could get 120k riders a week versus the KOP line which has an estimated 10k ridership.

  2. The KOP PROJECT would’ve repaid itself in tax revenue by drawing new construction housing and businesses to the KOP area including Norristown and more customers to Valley Forge Casino.

  3. Never did make no Damm sense. Spending 3 billion to go 3.6 miles from Norristown to KOP when the extension of the Broard st line under the Boulevard would travel 3 times the distance and serve 10's of thousands of more riders every day at around the same estimated cost. WTF! To many suburbanites on the Septa board. Plan and simple.
