Question 1

What about the threat by SEPTA to cut train and bus services? I know they are using it to hike up funding. However, even if they do end up cutting or reducing services this would impact the traffic in the area.

At this point, we have to treat this as a completely separate item. We can only deal with how traffic is currently and how it is projected to be. It's difficult to account for things like SEPTA funding and threats to cut service because if they do not come to fruition then our design is correct, but that's something that is unpredictable. We do coordinate with SEPTA on bus stop locations along 413 in particular for this project. With this coordination, we try to give them everything they need in the end.
