After being closed for over 40 years, Franklin Square PATCO station ramps up construction

Researchers surveyed hundreds of public transportation riders about their experiences to help shape future transit infrastructure decisions.

The $30 million project at 7th and Race streets has steadily worked towards resurrecting the “ghost station,” and will include ADA accessibility features.

PATCO received a $12.6 million federal grant to reopen an abandoned station beneath Franklin Square. It was last open in 1979.
