Woah!!
7pm?? It gets dark at 8! I thought they leave it open for an hour after dark? They've always got security up there so what's the big deal?
However it doesn't need to stay open 24, 7 since taking PATCO with a bike is really easy.
At least this is a start and might show the DRPA that it's not a big deal to keep it open till at least 10pm.
In 2001 and 2002 (and maybe 2003) it was kept open until 10:00 pm during the summer.
