Great news today for transit-oriented economic development: the Franklin Square PATCO station is to re-open. The problem is they plan to remodel it. According to the Inky:

Franklin Square Station has been preserved much as it was when it closed. PATCO riders can still glimpse its shadowy platforms and green-and-white tiled walls on their way to and from New Jersey.

But the gaudy orange foyer, with its 1970s-era fare lists (35 cents to Philadelphia stations, 75 cents to Lindenwold) and multilingual instructions on "How to Go PATCO," have long been hidden from view.

People love time-capsules (remember the Phantom Fountain that used to be on South or Pine Street in Center City west?) and modern design is in. And PATCO's design aesthetic now is only marginally better than SEPTA's. So add some elevators and ramps and stuff, but save the 70's orange!
