Dear Ms. Jones,
I strongly urge you to force SEPTA to comply with the permit
requirements for this project and to preserve as much of the Belgian
block paving between the tracks as possible as required by the
Philadelphia Historical Commission. SEPTA has dealt with my neighborhood
in a most cavalier and inconsiderate manner by notifying us at the last
hour and acting as if nothing can stand in the way of their plan for
this project.
Sincerely,
Bruce Andersen

Dear Ms Jones:
As a resident and business owner in West Philadelphia, I urge you
to ignore the wailing of the people who value a few stretches of Belgian
blocks -- many in a condition that the Historical Commission classifies
as of "low integrity" anyway -- over the needs of the people of West
Philadelphia.
The blocks are hazards to safety when driving, as well as causes of
damage to the springs and shock absorbers of automobiles that pass over
them. More than this, as you know, SEPTA is in dire financial straits
and owes it to the people who depend on public transit to upgrade its
infrastructure in a manner that will minimize long-term maintenance
costs. Preserving a stretch or two of Belgian blocks that is hardly a
tourist attraction or a destination for middle-school field trips,
notwithstanding Historical Commission designation as something (nobody
ever heard of) called a Historic Pavement Thematic District, is too high
a price to pay for the people who use the roads and -- especially -- the
West Philadelphia trolleys.
