Manayunk could look like Amsterdam with better investment in the Schuykill canal.

This gave me a chuckle cuz Amsterdam is like the flattest place on the planet

Exactly. Although Manayunk is one of the few parts of Philly that would benefit from a Funicular similar to Pittsburgh or an aerial tram that connects to Lower Merion township

Thats a pretty funny response, but I think the OP was onto something.

There’s actually an ongoing project right now to redevelop/restore the Sluice House right outside of Manayunk and reconnect the canal to the Schuykill. So, they’re trying.

The last thing Manayunk needs is more development.

You don’t live here. They are putting hundreds of new apartments every year, with minimal new parking, all while cutting septa bus lines.

Obviously there should be higher frequency for bus routes. Plus, Manayunk has excellent rail access to downtown, it makes sense that parking isn’t as much of a priority.

They come like every hour (mostly 2) at best. Rail access sucks. Plus from Roxborough it's extremely difficult to get to the rail.

That’s an easily fixable thing though, they just need to up frequency. I agree roxborough is different
