SEPTA’s Fiscal Year 2020 – Capital Budget Fiscal Years 2020 – 2031 Capital Program Proposal includes two items in Conshohocken. Both are something that MoreThanTheCurve.com has reported on before, a new train station and an effort to improve parking for the station.

This is an image of a new train station that SEPTA utilized in a presentation to
Conshohocken’s Borough Council in 2018.

Below are the two updates from the SEPTA document. MoreThanTheCurve.com added the images.
