SEPTA worked closely with the Melrose Park community throughout the reconstruction process to build an appealing transportation facility highlighted by ADA compliant accessible platforms, ramps and sidewalks and a glistening, bright exterior with landscaping and improved lighting.

Melrose Park Station also features a new brick building on the inbound side fashioned after the style of the historic Reading Railroad and includes a ticket office, climate-controlled waiting area and restroom. In addition, as part of the $5.4 million project, a new canopy was constructed on the inbound side and a passenger shelter was installed for outbound passengers.

The new station will be dedicated during a brief ceremony and ribbon cutting. SEPTA will provide refreshments at the station for passengers and community members from approximately 7 a.m. until 11 a.m.

Also invited to join SEPTA General Manager Faye Moore for the event are Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz; State Senator Leanna Washington; State Representative Lawrence Curry; Cheltenham County Commissioners Charles McKeown, Harvey Portner, Jeffrey Muldawer, Morton Simon, Jr., Paul Greenwald, Robert Gerhard, Michael Swavola and Montgomery County Commissioner James R. Matthews.
