Norman,
For a commuter rail line to be successful would require more than a "this will work" attitude.
The tracks exist. The following infrastructure would also be required. Train stations. OOPs-commercial venues now. Parking-in Pottstown only. The…
Bravo, Mike, Bravo!!!!!
I grew up in King of Prussia and we would walk those tracks for miles and put pennies on the track and wait for a train to run them over. Fond memories.
I am aware that the tracks exist. I was referring to still available stations, parking, etc. Yo…
Ken, you state that "most of the infrastructure is in place along the 422 corridor".
Would you mind being more specific?
Thank you, Joe
Mike, I could not agree more. We, the taxpayers paid for 422 once. The rail line passengers should fund every cost involved. Not fair? Suck it up because the majority will not use the train.
This would be a major under taking. They would need rail…
If you want the true facts of how the DOT allotted the stimulus funds, Specter has a link on his web site. There you will find the cities that are receiving rail money. Phil, this is not a attack on you. Does anyone really believe we need the trails…
I recievd a update from Sen. Specter informing us about how he and Casey secured $121 million for

I am in the process of going through the 422 Corridor Coalition Members List. As I review each members web site, I feel more and more uncomfortable. So far, the majority of members are private firms. A good deal of consulting and engineering firms.…
Mike, I have to agree with you and, if I may point out some rail infrastructure shortages that will need addressed before moving forward.
1. The train station in Pottstown is workable as far as parking. It will be another thing to reclaim the build…
Paul, you are correct sir!. In addition to the tolling being another tax, I mentioned before the artists rendition of the toll equipment. It depicted cars on a highway with a "hoop" going over side to side.
Most obvious it showed no facility to pay…
As I read the Master Plan Summart(sic), I looked at all the members of "422 Coalition". Limerick Township, Collegeville and Oaks did not appear as members. Pottstown Borough did. Yet Pottstown has formed a economic/revitalization group apart from al…
Steven B, in your reply, you disagreed 100% with someone who is of the same mind as you.????
Are you in fact running for office?.
Ummmm Phil, the Walmart in Upper Providence/Limerick has cleared the final legal battle and is a done deal according to the Limerick Township clerk I spoke to. All along the corridor, we have many empty buildings that could be utilized for light/hea…

- What is the proposed toll (tax) on 442 if this goes through? What is the estimated cost for the toll infrastrcture? What is the estimated increase in travel time due to entry and exit ramp toll collection facilities?.
