    ‘It feels like you’re dangling a carrot,’ says Germantown neighbor to SEPTA reps at recent meeting about the K route

    Long before the Bus Revolution plans, SEPTA rerouted the K bus off Coulter Street due to bridge construction. That was in 2013. The bridge reopened in 2023, but the bus never came back—sparking renewed outrage from Germantown neighbors. At a tense community meeting, residents and officials clashed over safety, decision-making, and who gets heard when routes change.

    The first two phases of the Annex at Germantown apartments are complete, but what’s next?

    Two buildings in the Annex at Germantown—built on the site of the former Germantown High School—are now nearly fully occupied, with 107 residential units filled and only one apartment left. While the units boast upgraded interiors and preserved features from the school, questions remain about the delayed gym, commercial space, and upcoming third phase of development. Residents are watching closely—and still waiting.
