But Box said yesterday that the more likely scenario was a PATCO link at Eighth Street and Market to a new Market Street trolley line from the waterfront.

"It would run on the surface [of Market Street] all the way to Broad," Box said. There, it would link with the subway-surface trolley.
How does this make any sense? Market street already has a subway line, does it really also need a surface trolley line? I was hoping for the alternative that runs to Franklin Square, but I guess it's better than nothing at all. Maybe this project will at last provide a catalyst for development of the Disney hole at 8th and Market .
