Saw there was a new zoning permit issued for a high-rise at 1808-1818 Ludlow. Haven't heard anything on that lot previously.

Here's some background on the parcels. Looks like 1816 and 1818 were acquired after this was written

Sounds like 20+ story residential building for Temple coming to North Broad between Oxford and Jefferson.

I have been wondering what’s been going with that block. Hope you’re right.

Well… holy shit ya’ll. A portion of I-95 collapsed due to a truck fire:

Only if there was a parallel rail line next to the highway. Or maybe having a Roosevelt Blvd Subway

Looks like temple owns all the land. Another dorm? On another note, Temple has demolished so many nice structures on Broad st without a good replacement use which is so frustrating to me like the weird "park" on Broad and Norris

Hopefully it doesn't take 10 years to fix. Oh dear...

It doesn't matter if you agree with highways or not, this is going to be a big issue for the city. A ton of people use that to get into and out of the city/stadiums/airport every single day. It's going to cause more congestion on every access road or highway around and could very well affect the city's economy a bit until this is fixed.

I mean there literally is a rail line that runs mostly parallel with I-95

Check out the Trenton line for SEPTA regional rail. Stops in Tacony, Holmesburg, Torresdale, Cornwell Heights, Eddington, Croydon, Bristol, Levittown and Trenon. This line will take them into Center City/30th Street and Temple. This line can help relieve congestion. SEPTA should increase frequency on the Trenton and West Trenton lines to help everyone coming and going into the city from the North for sure.

This feels like a huge opportunity to get people onto SEPTA. Hopefully SEPTA responds to take advantage of this.
