Route For Change Open House #1 - Mayfair

- Mayfair Community Center in Philadelphia, PA
- 12 people are going
PennDOT, in collaboration with the City of Philadelphia and SEPTA, is hosting an Open House on Roosevelt Boulevard. PennDOT representatives will be discussing interim improvements and selecting transportation alternatives for Roosevelt Boulevard.
Attend and tell PennDOT that you want a subway on Roosevelt Blvd!
Route For Change's Alternative 4 combines the construction of a subway with reconstruction of Roosevelt Boulevard as a neighborhood boulevard. It is the clear best alternative to prevent traffic, fatal collisions, and continued environmental damage, but also provides the best opportunity to develop housing and business with access to the boulevard. Join us to convince PennDOT to move forward with Alternative 4.
RSVP to join us before the meeting and receive some swag on your way in.
The RBS Team will be hosting a debrief of this and the upcoming representative's townhall meeting and there will be more opportunities to advocate in the near future.
Can't wait to see you there!
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Served by SEPTA Bus Routes 1, 14, 20, 70, 77, 88 & Boulevard Direct
