History

34th Street station was opened on November 6, 1955 by the Philadelphia Transportation Company,[1] built to replace the elevated station that opened in 1907 as part of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company's original Market Street subway–elevated line from Шаблон:Stl to Шаблон:Stl, which was elevated west of 23rd Street.[2][3]

The PRT announced a project to bury the elevated tracks between 23rd to 46th streets in the 1920s.[4] The tunnel from 23rd to 32nd streets was completed by 1933, but construction on the remaining segment was put on hiatus due to the Great Depression and World War II.[4] The PRT went bankrupt in 1939 and was reorganized as the PTC,[5] which began building the rest of the tunnel in 1947.[4]

34th Street is one of three stations on the Market–Frankford Line that is not ADA-accessible, the other two being Шаблон:Stl and Шаблон:Stl stations.[6] The addition of elevators in the station was announced in SEPTA's 2021–2032 Capital Program proposal; the station platforms would be rehabilitated and made accessible to passengers with disabilities by 2030 at an estimated cost of $30 million.[7] In 2022, SEPTA revised the project's budget to $31 million and estimated design and construction would be complete by 2025.[8] The project now also includes the renovation of the existing platforms, new signage, lighting, and security cameras, as well as waterproofing improvements.[8]
