Philadelphia's Waterfront Plan

Work on a Plan for the Central Delaware Riverfront is underway. The planning process was initiated on October 12, 2006 by an Executive Order signed by Mayor John F. Street, which established the Central Delaware Riverfront Advisory Group and a Steering Committee. The Advisory Group includes citizens, civic leaders, elected officials and design professionals, and it is chaired by the Executive Director of the Planning Commission. Penn Praxis, which is the clinical arm of the School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania, is coordinating the civic engagement process. The plan will provide a vision for the Delaware River from Allegheny Avenue to Oregon Avenue.

Recently, a draft of the "Civic Vision for the Central Delaware" was presented to the Advisory Committee. View the executive summary.
