Wait what?
The FMC has their own bus?

I went to Cira Green today and noticed that the elevator shaft on the southern side of the park was nearly complete. Also, I appreciate the nice signage throughout the complex.

A new reservoir, I believe. This is by City and Belmont Avenues, where the PWA owns current land and infrastructure.

PhilliesPhan is both right and wrong. Yes, there is a new reservoir being built on City Ave, but the site in the photo is in Strawberry Mansion.

This is one of the most unique projects happening in Philly right now.

Have a read: The Discovery Center

That can't be near city line and Belmont ,it looks close to Strawberry Mansion . The Art Museum is in the foreground .It really look's like somewhere near the zoo on the west side of the river .
