Reply to comment by Unfamiliar_Word in SEPTA approves $125 million for KOP rail project’s final design by RoughRhinos

My guess is that the developers who spent untold millions building developments and apartments buildings there which are essentially isolated, as well as the mall are pushing for this.

Yeah, the cost ballooned due to concessions made to those developers who don't really want this.

And none of the suburban politicians are either. This really feels like a thing only SEPTA wants

afaik no one including the mall was willing to give up parking for this, makes it seem like they couldn't care less

I have no idea. I was just putting out a guess.
