The Federal Transit Authority has greenlighted the Ardmore Transit Center project, which will put a mixed-used high-density development in the heart of the neighborhood’s business district.
How can this project NOT have a significant impact on surrounding area. Isn’t that the point? To revitalize Ardmore with a major and dramatic project.
Some of us like Ardmore uncongested with traffic and nonurban. What is the point of converting Ardmore or Bala Cynwyd or Lower Merion into Philadelphia West? If someone wanted urban, he or she would live in Philadelphia which is high density urban, not low density suburban which is why many moved here.
If this were a good idea, private investors would invest as saver-investors are doing at the Palmer Theological Seminary project.

Reliable, flexible transit service is not strictly an urban characteristic. Its needed in the suburbs, too. A few years back, when the administrator of the Urban Mass Transit Administration in DC was a Delco native, he wisely changed the name and mission of his government operation to the Federal Transit Administration, which now includes all transit, urban/suburban/rural.
