BLOCKED ... AGAIN The fencing that effectively rendered the walkway between the front of the center platform and the trolley boarding platform at 69 St Terminal has been reinstalled. It had been removed while the interior corridors connecting the West Terminal with the Main Terminal area was being rehabbed to comply with ADA regulations. An inquiry as to why the fencing was installed was met by a rude SEPTA Transit Police officer who didn't give a straight answer and two other SEPTA employees who said nothing at all. The rumor from a Red Arrow operator was that the fencing was installed to comply with the ADA. Wonderful. In order to comply with a well-intentioned law to assist the disabled, SEPTA has once again made it more difficult for people getting off the trolleys or the 107, 109, 110, 111, and 122 in order to connect with outbound trolleys or West Chester Pike buses. I wonder what portion of the cost to reinstall the fencing will be applied to SEPTA's burgeoning budget defecit...
