Hey guys,

Does anybody know exactly when the renovations will be completed
for the Millbourne station? I see workers out there everytime I go
by, but I would love to know when it will be complete and what the
new station will look like.

I think from their progress, the station should be open by June.

It's a very unique station and it's quite an oddity given how few blocks it is to the next station (69th Street).

The station primarily serves only a small group of blocks in Upper Darby that's cut off from 60th Street Station, and it's not easy to find from Market Street.

I think it's kinda cool how some of those backyards used to open out onto the station. There's a new retaining wall up... already been tagged.

From what I understand there is a cluster of Indian families who live near this station.

And this is why you should donate to PACCA, not PETA:

In September, PETA made headlines in Vermont and across the nation for asking Ben & Jerry's ice cream to use human breast milk in their ice cream, instead of cow milk

East, the area is actually not Upper Darby. It's a distinct borough.

Interestingly you forgot 63rd St station which is between 60th and Millbourne stations.

KByrd's right (as one would expect), Millbourne is its own borough and, interestingly, the only municipality in the commonwealth to have a majority Asian population.

As for when the station will be done, I think the entire project was supposed to be done like a year ago, so who knows

I wonder if that "prairie" will still be next to the station when they're done. I always thought it was funny when I'd get to that station and it looked like I was out in the country somewhere.

I grew up off of this stop (but on the other side of Market, in Upper Darby proper).

That prairie used to be the parking lot for the Sears Department Store. It closed sometime in the late-80s when they moved to 69th Street, and then the lot became a park and ride lot. Personally, I think a lot of that space is high enough so that it's not in Cobbs Creek's flood plain, and would make a great infill location for retail or housing or both, and it'd help Millbourne out a lot with revenue.

and yes, Millbourne is mostly Indian in that part of town. Further down there are a lot of Koreans too.
