I think the median looks nice, at least from those shots. The barrier may also keep trash from accumulating in the center.
I was tired of seeing all the negative comments about how it's pointless, a waste of money, blocks City Hall, etc. Philadelphia needs to embrace ideas like this instead of reflexively opposing them. I'm glad Phase 1 moved forward so quickly.
To pick up the pace and save money, they should just build out the remaining sections, add some low-maintenance landscaping and seasonal flowers, and call it a day. The larger trees, sidewalk seating, and other enhancements can always be added later.
