Various renderings of proposed Bayfront Parkway reconstruction. The gist of the current debate is that PennDOT is looking to build a highway and local groups don't want a highway.

Improvements to the Parkway are very long overdue. The key here is building an adequate roadway to account for the increased use of the bayfront with more hotels/offices/residences/retail, without building a greater "wall" between the waterfront and downtown.

Construction of multiple ped/bike bridges connecting the bluff to the waterfront at Liberty, Sassafras, State, Holland, and Wallace streets would be a very effective solution. And not cheap, ugly bridges.
