In six weeks, SEPTA will begin with the reconstruction of Fox Chase Station. Federal stimulus money will fund this well-needed project, since over the past 30 years, the station has fallen into such a state of disrepair.
SEPTA plans to use about 3.2 million dollars to rebuild the station. The new station would be more aesthetically appealing, be more resistant to vandalism, and be easier to clean and maintain.
The construction should not effect train operations. SEPTA hopes to have the project finished in 2010.
