Reply to comment by AssassinPanda97 in Opinion: A PennDOT study puts Philly closer to a potential Roosevelt Blvd subway by WHO_POOPS_THE_BED

A few weeks ago I talked to an engineer with some inside knowledge on the Navy Yard extension and the development of that industrial wasteland on the way out to the airport. These related projects are big - the necessary task of moving all the train infrastructure between the stadiums and the Navy Yard is no small feat. This guy said we would see minimal changes in our lifetime, and that this is a “hundred year job” with no exaggeration.

it can be done in 2 years. it could be done in 1 year. If it can't it's not because of physical limitations, but systemic issues.
