Improving Pedestrian Access To The Delaware River Front
19 Jun 2003
Abstract
Philadelphia is considered to be the historical capital of the United States. With many attractions from east to west, both in the entertainment and historical realms, Philadelphia is the major tourist attraction on the east coast. However, a problem resides in the current infrastructure of the waterfront on the Delaware River, the Penn's Landing region. We pledge to reconnect this section of the city with the many attractions that currently exist, creating an obvious travel path and sensible flow from Philadelphia's Center City to Camden, New Jersey. Our objective is clear; we will create a decking that will connect Front Street to Penn's Landing, covering the main obstacles of this area, Interstate 95 and Columbus Boulevard. We will use this space to serve the public and will not encourage the use or large scale building construction, as previous failed attempts had suggested. The scope of this project will serve the local and tourist population, serving as a place for public gathering, a refreshing escape from metropolitan activity.
