I think the station would have significantly higher ridership now than it did 40 years ago.

Many of the ideas come from the folks I'd call "the usual suspects" on urban issues. I'm a bit surprised I wasn't asked/didn't hear that Ronnie Polaneczky was working on this.

According to the article, Johnny Doc's been plumping for this for a while now. The upgrading of Franklin Square itself into a tourist draw helps his case.
