falrmount civic association
June 27, 2018
EXHIBIT "C"
My name is Larry Reynolds and I am writing on behalf of the Fairmount Civic Association (FCA) and many of the residents of Fairmount to reaffirm the neighborhood's strong support for implementing timely, efficient, and direct bus service to 30th Street Station and other locations in University City. I am currently on the FCA Board and in prior years as President of the FCA have written to SEPT A regarding the need for this service.
• February 18, 2009 • December 2, 2009 • May 14, 2015 • May 8, 2017
There are a considerable number of Fairmount residents who have expressed an interest in public transit service to University City destinations such as University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Children's Hospital and other new medical and research facilities along Civic Center Boulevard, as well as better access to Amtrak." We know there is also a demand for a service of this type in the Brewerytown and Strawberry Mansion communities of Lower North Philadelphia .. Conversations with civic groups in those areas have confirmed that belief. It would make UC employment opportunities attractive to residents of those neighborhoods.
We do not have a recommendation for a particular route, but we would off er the following points in consideration of a plan.
• The service should be direct and regular. • 30th Street Station and the large UC employers are the desired destinations. • Service of 3-4 busses per hour should not cause traffic congestion, even on some of our smaller streets. • Service along Fairmount A venue would likely enhance ridership.
ppreciate your willingness to consider these service enhancements. s Tru

I am writing on behalf of the Fairmount Civic Association (FCA) and many of the residents of Fairmount to reaffirm the neighborhood's strong support for implementing timely, efficient, and direct bus service to 30th Street Station and other locations in University City.
There are a considerable number of Fairmount residents who have expressed an interest in public transit service to University City destinations such as University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Children's Hospital and other new medical and research facilities along Civic Center Boulevard, as well as better access to Amtrak." We know there is considerable demand for a service of this type in the other communities of Lower North Philadelphia .. Conversations with civic groups in those areas have confirmed that belief.

Dear Mr. Casey,

I am writing on behalf of the Fairmount Civic Association (FCA) and the residents of Fairmount to express the organization's support for improving the currently poor transit service between lower North Philadelphia and University City, by creating a new bus line or a possible re-routing of the underutilized 7 bus line.
According to prior communications, SEPT A is/has considered "providing limited peak hour service to University City destinations such as University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Children's Hospital and other new medical and research facilities along Civic Center Boulevard, as well as better access to Amtrak." We know there is considerable demand for a service of this type in Fairmount and the other communities of Lower North Philadelphia.
The issue of inadequate transit service from Fairmount/Lower North Philadelphia to University City has been a growing concern for the FCA. Recently, the FCA undertook an informal survey of area residents, asking specifically whether they would value and use a direct transit link between the Fairmount area and major sites in University City, including 30th Street Station and the campuses of Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania. The great majority (nearly 70%) of the over 300 respondents indicated that they would "definitely" or "very likely" use such a transit connection. More than 80% of residents who worked in University City responded in this way, but perhaps even more interestingly, fully half of those respondents who worked in Center City also indicated that they would be likely to use such a connection at least once a week, showing that this proposal would be valuable to more people than just the regular commuters. While not scientific, this survey certainly confirms what the FCA knows anecdotally to be true - that the Fairmount-to-University City corridor is underserved by existing transit options.
We also believe that direct service to University City would be useful to commuters from Strawberry Mansion, Brewerytown, and Sharswood. Conversations with civic groups in those areas have confirmed that belief. It would make UC employment opportunities attractive to residents of those neighborhoods.
We understand that SEPT A had been willing to consider the realignment of an existing bus route. We would strongly request that any such rerouting also take into account the possibility of serving 30th Street Station, since we know that a fair number of those who make this trip regularly are transferring to other transit services there. While we certainly support the rerouting of the 43 bus, we would also like to suggest that the addition of a University City loop on the route 7 bus is another, and in some ways better, candidate for this change, since it serves a number of neighborhoods on the west side of Lower North Philadelphia (neighborhoods farther to the east, along the route 43, have better access to subway lines and may not need the connection to West Philadelphia quite as much).
One could imagine that the route 7, which is underutilized by Fairmount residents, might be reconfigured to continue west on Market Street past 30th Street Station and then on through the Drexel/Penn area, to reconnect with its original route by a return east on Chestnut Street or even somewhere around Washington A venue We appreciate your willingness to consider these service enhancements and stand ready to speak with you further.
Yours Truly,
Larry Reynolds, President

I am writing on behalf of the Fairmount Civic Association (FCA) and the residents of Fairmount as a follow up to your correspondence dated April 2009. In prior correspondence I expressed the organization's support for improving the transit service between lower North Philadelphia and University City, with emphasis on a possible rerouting of the underutilized 7 bus line. Your response in April indicated an interest from SEPT A in investigating that possibility. We remain committed to assist you in any way possible.
To restate our earlier position, the issue of inadequate transit service from Fairmount/Lower North Philadelphia to University City has been a growing concern. Last year the FCA undertook an informal web survey of area residents, asking specifically whether they would value and use a direct transit link between the Fairmount area and major sites in University City, including 30th Street Station and the campuses of Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania. The great majority (nearly 70%) of the over 300 respondents indicated that they would "definitely" or "very likely" use such a transit connection. More than 80% of residents who worked in University City responded in this way, but perhaps even more interestingly, fully half of those respondents who worked in Center City also indicated that they would be likely to use such a connection at least once a week, showing that this proposal would be valuable to more people than just the regular commuters. While not scientific, this survey certainly confirms what the FCA knows anecdotally to be true - that the Fairmount-to-University City corridor is underserved by existing transit options.
We also believe that direct service to University City would be useful to commuters from Strawberry Mansion, Brewerytown, and Sharswood. It would make UC employment opportunities attractive to residents of those neighborhoods.
We were therefore delighted to see that SEPT A are willing to consider the realignment of an existing bus route. We would respectfully request that any such rerouting also take

We appreciate your willingness to think creatively and stand ready to speak with you further.

I am writing on behalf of the Fairmount Civic Association (FCA) and the residents of Fairmount to express the organization's support for improving the transit service between lower North Philadelphia and University City, such as the potential · re-routing of the 43 bus line or a possible re-routing of the underutilized 7 bus line.
According to the public notice on the AY2010 Service Plan posted at L~llJlta.com/:new§/public notices/asp2010.hn11l, SEPTA is considering a feasibility study for "providing limited peak hour service to University City destinations such as University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Children's Hospital and other new medical and research facilities along Civic Center Boulevard." We believe there is considerable demand for a service of this type in Fairmount and the other communities served by the 43 bus.
While not mentioned in the Plan, we believe that another option may be to consider adding a University City loop to the route of the 7 bus line, which would be attractive to the residents of Lower North Philadelphia.
