Overview
City Hall and 15th Street Stations provide a critical connection and serve as the center of SEPTA’s entire system. Rehabilitation of these facilities will make the City Hall Station on the B Line (Broad Street Line [B]) fully accessible, with improved connections to T Lines (Routes 10, 11, 13, 34, and 36) and the M Line (Market-Frankford Line [L]). Improvements to this transit facility will not only make it easier to use for everyone but will also improve safety, security and reduce ongoing maintenance cost.
