The trolley stop at 47th and Woodland that had been previously discontinued, has been reinstated after requests from local residents and officials. SEPTA and the City’s Streets Department officials announced that trolley service at 47th Street and Woodland Avenue was expected to restart this past Sunday, March 27. The announcement was made during last week’s meeting of the 48th and Woodland Recreational Center Advisory Council held at the 48th and Woodland Recreation Center.

The announcement came after months of meetings between the Advisory Council and SEPTA authorities. The Advisory Council met with State Representative Rick Krajewski last year to ask for his assistance in reinstating the discontinued trolley stop, citing concerns about accessibility for area residents. Rep. Krajewski, along with Councilmember Jamie Gauthier, worked with the Advisory Council to convene meetings between SEPTA Officials and members of the Streets Department to address the issue.
