A 2-year, $5.25 million study on the development of 175-acre site reportedly concluded it will cost roughly $6.5 billion to overhaul the 175-acre site that neighbors 30th Street Station.
The 30th Street Station District Plan, led by Amtrak, SEPTA, Brandywine Realty Trust, Drexel University and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, studied the proposed development of a huge part of West Philadelphia.
The plan would create a dense urban community, partially situated above 88 acres of rail yards, build an underground concourse between 30th Street Station and the nearby SEPTA subway station, and relocate the ramp to the Schuylkill Expressway to allow for a bus terminal that replaces the existing area where passengers wait for Megabus and others, according to the Inquirer.
