Carol Davis, Doris Kessler and Carol Graeber  spent some time last week weeding the new landscape at the Allens Lane Train Station.  The Friends of the Allen Lane Station were informed by SEPTA that the community will be largely responsible for maintenance and volunteers are needed.

Please  contact the WMAN Streetscape Committee for more information.

Site Evaluation

Way back in July of 2011 we issued the Site Evaluation Report to SEPTA below:

Site Evaluation Report

None of it was addressed save for a tiny amount of slope stabilization...and this was only addressed after a large portion of the slope began to fail...just as the report warned.  Read the report and decide for yourself, but we are truly saddened that what was purchased for the landscape design came no where near to what was installed.
