A timeline of any sort? I think it is a fantastic idea and will create more business in Phoenixville and help to raise property values.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29962318.post-5707191076514485992008-01-31T20:30:00.000-05:002008-01-31T20:30:00.000-05:00People who work at the corporate center could also ride into Phoenixville at lunch and after work to support restaraunts and other businesses.<BR/><BR/>Great idea!

Nobody can argue that those roads exceed capacity levels during the key business hours.<BR/>And don't forget that transit is a two way concept - connecting this center and the R5 with Phoenixville will bring jobs HERE. And that's what makes our town truly rise again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29962318.post-10321825754349864312008-01-31T09:30:00.000-05:002008-01-31T09:30:00.000-05:00Is traffic on Route 29 really that bad? I've never had problems with it. A drive from Phoenixville to Malvern / Paoli can't be that bad except for some congestion at the intersection of Phoenixville Pike and Charlestown road. I'm no expert, but I really don't think many people would use the train. And unless shuttles will move people from the Corporate Center to their places of work, ... it's silly. Now connecting Phoenixville to Philadelphia is another story. But to Malvern??Mike2131http://www.blogger.com/profile/14692730039623414423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29962318.post-31115338116837437262008-01-31T08:47:00.000-05:002008-01-31T08:47:00.000-05:00<I>Anonymous 1/29/08 10:28 PM<BR/>"why a train? why not just run a bus?"</I><BR/><BR/>The engineers will be studying all options--rail, bus, BRT--hence the feasibility study. I recommend that you attend the Monday evening meeting at the Columbia (6:30pm) and voice your suggestions.
