On March 9, 2009, as part of a meeting of the Darby Borough Planning Commission, SEPTA
graciously agreed to provide 6 signs with information about Darby's transportation heritage if the Darby
Historical Commission would provide the content. Community input was sought and received and these
signs are the result. It is a large file (9 MB) and may take a while to load. The assistance of SEPTA, the
Delaware County Planning Department and Darby Borough is greatly appreciated in this collaborative
effort.
