This is the same plan, trust me!  |
I know exactly what you are talking about. That was not a plan in any concrete terms, it was a project showing a possible future reworking of the area around 30th street station. It was an entirely conceptual project that had no announced starting date. I also don't believe it was 15 years ago. I remember attending a forum that I believe led to the creation of that preliminary concept that was displayed inside 30th street station. I was still at Temple when I attended the forum which at the earliest took place in 2005. So it's more like 10 years ago.
The project has just recently moved out of the conceptual phase and a somewhat concrete plan was announced just months ago, with the first aspects, the creation of a green space next 30th Street Station and a rehab of the Bulletin building slated to begin next year.
Just because a plan has been kicking around for a few years, doesn't necessarily mean it is "behind schedule." For that to be the case, a start date would need to have been announced and there was certainly no start date associated with this entirely conceptual design. This project is in no way "behind schedule."
