  • Northeast Philadelphia, a Section of the City That Puzzles Many Visitors
    Northeast Philadelphia, a section of the city that puzzles many visitors. This confusion is not without its merit. Upon completion of a quick tour of the city it becomes abundantly clear that the Northeast does not compare to the rest of the city. Believe it or not, there is a perfectly good reason for this difference. Long ago, Philadelphia was once a growing, bustling city, without (that’s right I said without) the Northeast. During this period of time the Northeast was more of a rural area with a few businesses, but mostly farm land. Recently this area of the city has become increasingly denser in population, but has also seen an influx of corporate businesses with smaller, privately owned businesses sprouting up on the outskirts of the strip malls that house these corporate businesses. As the entire city continues to grow, the Northeast has continually seen a decrease in public services including reduction in police officers, closings of community centers and volunteer organizations, and a serious lacking in government attention. The problem has many causes, but it seems as though the most threatening cause is the rest of the city. Year after year the crime rate in areas such as West, Southwest, North, and South Philadelphia has been exponentially growing. Due to this, projects such as Operation Sunrise and Operation Safe Streets were put into effect to curb these growing concerns. Unfortunately, these projects only are concerned with ridding crime in the pre determined targeted areas. What these projects overlook is what the deterrent force of increased police patrolling does to the rest of the city.

  • Historic Context Statement for Lower Northeast Planning District 2012
    ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH AND CULTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONSULTING HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT 2012 HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT EMILY T. COOPERMAN, PH.D. Geographical Summary The Lower Northeast Planning District (figure 1) lies inland (northwest) of the Delaware River waterfront at the point where the northeast and northwest sections of the city branch off from north Philadelphia. The Lower Northeast Planning District is characterized by relatively flat topography that rises gradually from the southeast to the northwest, moving away from the river. The Planning District is bounded on the southwest by the Frankford and Tacony creeks, and abuts Montgomery County on the northwest just south of the Tacony Creek as it turns to the northeast. The Tacony Creek becomes the Frankford Creek at the point where it historically met the Wingohocking Creek, which flowed east from Germantown and is now culverted, near the intersection of Tabor Road and Garland Street. Historically, the Little Tacony Creek flowed in several branches through the heart of the Planning District, meeting the Frankford Creek below where Erie Avenue is now located. Figure 1. Lower Northeast Planning District, outlined in black, with the area previously studied shown in gray LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT HISTORIC CONTEXT – PAGE 1 ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH AND CULTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONSULTING HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR LOWER NORTHEAST PLANNING DISTRICT 2012 Introduction The Lower Northeast Planning District can be divided into three general zones that developed at different rates. The settlement and industrial village of Frankford, which was studied in the Historic Context Statement for Neighborhood Cluster 1 (2008-2009), was the historic town center of the Planning District and was one of several such urban concentrations that developed in Philadelphia’s former county before the 1854 Consolidation.

  • Philadelphia's Housing Market Deteriorates Sharply in Q1
    Philadelphia’s Housing Market Continues to Push Forward in Q3 Multiple records are broken, but some issues persist in becoming increasingly worrisome. October 21, 2020: The latest quarter’s numbers indicate a lot of demand, but also some real concerns. Here they are: • The average price of Philadelphia homes rose by 0.7% in Q3 on a quality- and seasonally- adjusted basis. This is a deceleration from the previous quarter’s increase of 2.4%, but is still within the bounds of what is a historically typical quarterly house price appreciation rate for Philadelphia. • Philadelphia’s house prices are currently up an average of 8.4% from one year ago (YoY). This increase is well above the city’s historic annual average appreciation rate of 4.5%, and is also above the YoY increases in recent quarters from previous years. • After breaking the $200,000 barrier for the first time in Q2, the median house price in Philadelphia remained at $200,000 in Q3. Although this is a very slight decline from the Q2 median price of $200,750, it is not only the first time that the median price has exceeded $200,000, but it is also a nearly 18% increase over the median price of $169,900 in the same quarter last year1. However, it should be emphasized that this number represents the median price of homes that sold, and not the median value of all Philadelphia homes. Since sales activity has become skewed towards higher-priced segments of the market in 2020, so too has the median price become skewed (some may say “biased”) upwards.

  • E-Zpass-Only’ Interchange Opens in Bucks County Today Eastbound On/Off Ramps Will Link Interstate 276 and State Route 132 (Street Road)
    Media Contact: Mimi Doyle at 610-239-4117 Communications and Public Relations [email protected] New Pa. Turnpike ‘E-ZPass-Only’ Interchange Opens in Bucks County Today Eastbound on/off ramps will link Interstate 276 and State Route 132 (Street Road). The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) today will open a new E-ZPass Only Interchange in Bensalem Township, Bucks County, approximately one-half mile east of its Bensalem Interchange (Exit #351). Officials anticipate opening the partial interchange following a ribbon- cutting ceremony set to start at 11:30 a.m. The so-called All Electronic Interchange (AEI) -- to be designated as the Street Road Interchange (Exit #352) -- will only accommodate eastbound entering and eastbound exiting traffic and offer direct Pa. Turnpike access via Street Road (State Route 132) between the Parx Casino, Bensalem, Pa., and U.S. Route 1. Only motorists with an active E-ZPass account will be eligible to utilize the Street Road AEI. All E-ZPass tags from any of the 24 affiliated tolling agencies in 14 states (primarily in the Northeastern U.S.) will be accepted. Non-E-ZPass (cash-paying) motorists who try to use the interchange will receive a video-toll violation in the mail and are liable to pay the toll from the farthest Pa. Turnpike entry point plus administrative fees. The cost to exit via the new interchange from points west will be the same toll as if exiting at Delaware Valley (#358). For those who got on the Turnpike at Street Road, the toll at the two plazas east of the AEI -- Delaware Valley #358 and Delaware River Bridge #359 -- will be the same as if entering at Bensalem (formerly the Philadelphia Interchange).
