SEPTA Cuts, Cyclist Killed in Fairmount & 2026 City Upgrades

Listen Later

It’s the Friday News Roundup! We’re talking about full SEPTA service for Eagles ticket-holders – but not for the rest of us. Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz also report on the crowded Democratic race for the 3rd congressional seat, a cyclist killed in Fairmount Park, the possible deployment of federal troops to the city, and our neighborhoods getting upgrades for America’s 250th birthday celebration.

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism:
