SEPTA Cuts, Cyclist Killed in Fairmount & 2026 City Upgrades

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.
