On March 1st, US Senator Arlen Specter wrote a strong letter to CSX President Michael Ward in support of our campaign for street level access to Schuylkill River Park. In his letter, Senator Specter called on CSX to "work out an acceptable agreement for safe grade crossings with the City of Philadelphia and the Free the Schuylkill River Park Coalition." Read the full letter
Congressman Fattah also sent a strong letter Read the full letter. Thanks to these letters and more than 500 residents who have also written Mr Ward, CSX has finally agreed to meet with our coalition this coming week.
Thank you Senator Specter & Congressman Fattah!
I am also very appreciative of Senator Specter's and Representqtive Fattah's support. Would there be a way to send them a thank you e-mail or fax via this site (or to join a thank you note)? I think it would be a good way to show our muscle in a nice context.
