The final step toward Reading’s iconic Franklin Street Station once again serving passengers came in the form of a message.
BARTA officials arranged for the message to flash on the first bus to leave the station since its rebirth: “Thanks Dennis; You gave it all.”
It was for Dennis D. Louwerse, BARTA’s executive director, who died Thursday after 30 years leading the county transit agency.
“This is the culmination of a dream,” Ryan Furgerson, BARTA’s deputy executive director, said of the first bus departing from the former train station. “This is something Dennis would very much wanted to have seen.”
