If you are a Chester County resident or municipal official who has an interest in the county’s future, please check out the latest developments of Landscapes3, the county’s next comprehensive plan. In particular, we at the Chester County Planning Commission are asking for comments of the plan’s draft goals, objectives, and map.
I was gratified to see that expanding transit is second in importance only to safe drinking water as listed in a public survey. The County’s backing is very much needed to convince SEPTA that it should not neglect our project to restore rail service to West Chester. Without the County’s help I fear that the King of Prussia extension will use up all the bandwidth. Both projects could proceed simultaneously, especially since the West Chester route is less complex.

Thanks for your comment and support of public transportation. SEPTA is working to complete a feasibility study on expansion of regional rail to West Chester.
