Many residents have been wondering what’s happening with Baltimore Avenue after SEPTA completed the 34 Trolley track reconstruction at the beginning of the month. The sides of the street were not resurfaced, which makes it hard to use, especially for bicyclists. Yesterday evening the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) crews began resurfacing work as part of a bigger pavement improvement project in Philadelphia that involves repavement of Baltimore Avenue between 61st Street and University Ave. The project is scheduled to be completed this fall.
