There are several large, promising projects planned or being built in the vicinity of Spring Garden Station, as those tower cranes portend, which I imagine are in significant part attributable to its presence.

Unfortunately, Spring Garden Station sucks. It's not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and even if that doesn't stop you, it sits in the middle of the Delaware Expressway and is reached from miserable, uninviting even outright hostile entrances. It's far better that a station be there than not, but not by as much as it should. I'm not even sure how it could be feasibly made accessible and inviting. Neither of those are traits of highways, which largely define the area and station.
