Concourse Improvement Project Moves Down the Line
You may have noticed activity in the PATCO Stations along Locust Street. Workers are now at those stations continuing the concourse improvement project. The work which will be completed over the next several months will result in the installation of special flooring, lighting and wall applications. The stations will also be easier to navigate with new signage.
In September, PATCO completed station renovations at City Hall and 8th & Market. The concourse improvements are designed to keep PATCO as one of the premier transit systems in the country.
