Just so we’re clear the rebuttal is people don’t want to walk from regional rail to the broad street line any more but suddenly more people will be will to take the train now that they don’t have to walk that short distance without leaving the station. Only a small amount of people will drive and their parking location will be provided by the sixers. This will revitalize the shopping in the area and that again somehow this is the only option to revitalize this two block stretch of market street though admittedly the residential aspect is the saving grace to get the arena over the finish line. The greatest public transit portal in the city will be capped by a sports arena because it’s the best possible use. None of my concerns have been answered by these pipe dream delusions

It's about an additional 25 minutes to get from Suburban Station or Jefferson Station to the Wells Fargo Center. More people will take public transportation to the game if the trip is about 25 minutes shorter.

I was hopeful the recent renovations would improve the look, but you can't polish a turd.

There is/was a restaurant/bar fronting the park but it wasn't very visible and didn't seem to get much traffic.

When I was a child, I thought it was public housing from the looks of it.
