With talks of building a Roosevelt Boulevard subway, with a stop in Bucks County, PennDOT is studying what it would take to make it a reality. Ryan Mulligan wrote about the organization’s recent reviews in the Philadelphia Business Journal.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is currently studying the options for what it would take in order to make the long-talked-about subway become a reality. If created, it would give Bucks County residents an easy option for transportation in and out of the city.
