Given Philadelphia’s own history of racially discriminatory policing, it was expected and appropriate that such protests would happen here as well.

  • Interstate Management Program for the Fy2017 Tip for Dvrpc Subregion Dvrpc Fy2017 Tip for Pennsylvania
    INTERSTATE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE FY2017 TIP FOR DVRPC SUBREGION DVRPC FY2017 TIP FOR PENNSYLVANIA I-95 RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT ROADMAP The I‐95 Corridor, a major facility built in the 1960s, is home to many regional destinations. These destinations include sports, recreational and entertainment venues, employment centers like Center City Philadelphia, and major transportation/port facilities such as the Philadelphia International Airport and several port terminals. It also provides access to portions of New Jersey and Delaware via connections with other interstates and state routes. More than $2 billion will provide for PennDOT’s long‐term, multi‐phase initiative to rebuild and improve Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania. Over the next decade, PennDOT will focus on reconstructing an eight mile stretch of Interstate 95 between Interstate 676 and Cottman Avenue north of Center City Philadelphia. The five sections that comprise what is known as “Sector A” (GIR, CPR, BSR, BRI, and AFC) are reflected in more than 30 separate MPMS#’s, most of which appear in the Interstate Management Program (IMP), and some of which appear in the Regional Highway Program of the DVRPC TIP. Construction is currently active at the Cottman/Princeton Interchange (CPR), at the Betsy Ross Bridge/Aramingo Avenue Interchange (BRI), and at the Girard Avenue Interchange (GIR). Two other sections, at the Bridge Street Interchange (BSR) and from the Frankford Creek, south of the Betsy Ross Interchange, to Allegheny Avenue (AFC) are in varying stages of design as engineers work out the details of rebuilding the interchanges and the connecting segments of I‐95. Table 13, on the next page, shows a breakdown of the individual projects and programming amounts in the FY2017 STIP.
