- Naked Philly says all the holes at 2nd and Washington have been filled with houses – almost.
Time to update that 2007 feasibility study for expected daily BSL ridership to Navy Yard. #extendBSL
I agree. The subway should run straight into the Navy Yard till around 5:00pm-6:00pm. And maybe stop at the very front of it after that time… I say this because I know they ask us for navy yard ID at the gat after around 5pm… So yeah either way, the Subway should be extended south to and/or through the Navy Yard.
