About The Roosevelt Boulevard Subway
Our Mission
Roosevelt Boulevard, one of the busiest thoroughfares in Philadelphia, is emblematic of the city's vibrant energy and diverse communities. However, its reliance on surface-level transportation poses significant challenges, including traffic congestion, safety concerns, and limited accessibility.
Our mission is clear: To champion the construction of a subway line along Roosevelt Boulevard, providing a transformative solution to these pressing issues. A subway system promises faster, safer, and more efficient transportation for residents, commuters, and visitors alike.
Proposed Subway Map
The Roosevelt Boulevard Subway comprises a 14-mile extension of the B (Broad Street Line), seamlessly integrating with a 1-mile extension of the L (Market-Frankford Line) converging at Bustleton Station.
Our Symbol:
- The vibrant orange hue mirrors the iconic color of the Broad Street line, symbolizing the future connection between the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway and this established transit artery.
- The prominent '1' serves as a dual representation: first, as a nod to U.S. Route 1, a major thoroughfare synonymous with Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and second, as a numerical affirmation of progress towards this transformative subway project.
- Below the '1', the intricate tracks intricately depict the concept of Rapid Transit, embodying the efficiency and speed integral to modern urban transportation systems.
- The sweeping overhang gracefully encapsulates the notion of the subway itself, signifying shelter, progress, and the promise of enhanced connectivity for the community.
