They are making some changes like town center, but a lot of business based there is kind of sprawled, the roads are massive and sidewalks missing. That would need to change for folks to be able to depend on the nhsl for commuting to work.

A Manayunk/Norristown extension to Phoenixville is happening in tandem with the NHSL extension.
