Confused by this statement as well. It's certainly possible that Inga has some updated inside info, but as of last October the plan looked to be turning this into something of a "nature barrier" rather than a park, actually going as far as to wall it off from the street.
This makes more sense to me than a park, though I've mentioned before I think the best of course of action here is to push PennDOT to sell this piece to a private developer. There is definitely enough room here to build something and actually close of the street from the highway. I understand there may be some logistical concerns I'm not aware of. Overall I think the second st plan looks pretty great, though as mentioned in that article, people are going to fight to keep the parking.
