From Eyes on the Street: The Imperative Divine Lorraine

The revitalization on North Broad Street is being held back by the Divine Lorraine’s blighting dead weight. But yesterday Mayor Nutter announced the city’s renewed commitment to “transform” the historic, but neglected, apartment/hotel at the intersection of Broad and Fairmount

Ideas for the Columbia Avenue Connector project

Planners say a greener street with improved lighting at the underpass could better link Fishtown to the waterfront and PennTreaty Park. Some neighbors are concerned that too many trees could take up too many parking spaces. A compromise is in the works.

Incoming First District Councilman Mark Squilla says East Market Street is his first priority

He also talks to PlanPhilly about the challenges of representing such a diverse district, keeping revitalized neighborhoods affordable for long-time residents, zoning legislation tied to single projects and waterfront development.
