"Make big ideas work," Mayor Michael Nutter told the crowd last night at the Festival Pier meeting to discuss the future of the Philadelphia waterfront.
It may take a long time for Philadelphia to reclaim the many miles of cut-off space that is the current Delaware River waterfront, but the ball is already in motion. Just look at the recently opened Race Street Pier and know that more development is on the way.
Last night's meeting set out to share the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation's Master Plan with the public for review. The highlights include new development and programming that will connect the waterfront to its residents, with walkability, sustainability, and Philadelphia personality all major guidelines. Areas of focus will include Spring Garden, Penn's Landing, and Washington Avenue.
