I'm thrilled to see JFK Boulevard get some love.
It could be a game changer if they took advantage of the space between the Blvd and the wall supporting the rails. A little landscaping would be nice.
That fence to the right, was that necessary?
I'm sure there's a million codes, rules and excuses as to why that wall needs protected, but really?
Stairs at 22nd St & JFK Blvd 2
Couldn't that expensive ramp been extended to include access to 23rd Street?
Even with stairs. I know $$$
JFK Blvd Ramp at 22nd Street
I like to see every inch of Center City to be utilized to it's fullest potential.
Consolidating all the space and converted into a lush linear park, from 20th Street to the river.
A series of ramps connecting the Blvd to the streets below.
Lined with landscaping, gathering areas, seating, pedestrian/tourist amenities.
After all it's a main link from Center City to 30th Street Station. Not just for vehicular traffic but bicycles and pedestrians.
A new GREEN SPACE in the heart of the city.
