Gray's Ferry is already turning the corner. New construction all over down there... so... I'm assuming this will only speed up momentum.
As for Southwest Philly, I think it'll be huge that people will be able to walk continuously from Center City to Bartram's Garden. I think this will spark a revitalization of parts of Southwest Philly for sure - especially the areas closest to Bartram's Garden (Bartram's Village and parts of Kingsessing).
I think everything form the Schuylkill River, to Chester Ave, and 58th Street up to the Squirrel Hill/Cedar Park/Clark Park area is fair game for revitalization once the Schuylkill Trail connects to the Grays Ferry Crescent and the rest of the trail. Especially since these areas both have active trolley routes, and have the real potential to add a Regional Rail stop as well.
