Some communities are still fighting as SEPTA planners consider last-minute refinements to the third and final edition of a proposed redesign of bus routes. Residents of Strawberry Mansion and Logan Square say that the plan would deprive them of crucial bus connections to other parts of the city, and fear that their concerns have been overlooked. Many riders have expressed skepticism at the idea of budget neutrality, saying it effectively forces service cuts. That is driving the opposition in Strawberry Mansion and Logan Square. Routes 32 and 49 serve both areas. Whatever the final version ends up being, conditions outside SEPTA’s control present challenges to reaching the professed goal of more frequent and reliable bus service: congested traffic, narrow streets, parking that obscures sight lines at four-way intersections and blocks access to bus stops, trash trucks and even deliveries.
