  • Organizations & Departments with Oversight
    A Civic Vision for the Central Delaware 2 PennPraxis WRT William Penn Foundation F O R E W O R D The William Penn Foundation, founded in 1945 by Otto and Phoebe Haas, is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Greater Philadelphia region. We seek to build on the region’s assets and enhance the economic competitiveness of Greater Philadelphia. We have long believed that the Delaware River is one of our region’s most significant assets. For more than a decade, the Foundation has sought to promote the historically industrialized Delaware Riverfront as a both a natural and community resource. In recent years the riverfront has experienced tremendous redevelopment pressure. However, due to the absence of an effective master plan and weak land use controls, most of this development has occurred in an ad-hoc and uncoordinated manner, raising concerns that the city would fail to fully maximize the waterfront’s economic and community development benefits and potential to deliver important new public access and amenities. In response to these concerns, the Foundation launched the central Delaware riverfront planning process to provide needed planning resources for the waterfront. We also sought a new model for large-scale, open, transparent civic visioning and planning that we hope will be replicable elsewhere in Philadelphia and will set a new standard for public access and participation in the city’s development decisions. Although Philadelphia has come late to the waterfront development game, our tardiness gives us one important advantage – we can learn from the experiences of many other cities.

  • 06 CVCD Parks-And-Open-Space
    Purpose General Findings Goals 6 Early Action Create New Parks Connect the City to the Riverfront Invest in a Sustainable Riverfront AND OPEN PARKS SPACE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE Port Richmond Riverfront Park In coordination with GreenPlan Philadelphia the civic vision recommends a park system that connects across city neighborhoods and along the river’s edge. A park at the end of Lehigh Avenue serves potential job centers to the north and south and is connected to Delaware Boulevard, a riverfront trail and a Lehigh Viaduct cross-city trail. 6 Parks and Open Space The central Delaware riverfront is severely lacking in public open space, but it has the potential to host a world-class park system. Currently, there are only two public parks in the project area, Penn Treaty Park and Pulaski Park, and these occupy just eight of the area’s 1,146 acres. Another possible park location would be Penn’s Landing, a hard-surfaced, signifi cantly underutilized public asset in need of revitalization. A more extensive, contiguous and designed system of open spaces at the river’s edge would improve quality of life for neighbors, increase the value of future development, preserve and support natural life and attract visitors from across the region. Parks and Open Space 119 Purpose The purpose of the following recommendations on parks and open Parks and open spaces also have important health benefits for space is to improve the quality of life along the riverfront and the river residents, as well as for the city as a whole. Having such recreational itself by building a network of public open spaces that are ecologically assets increases activity levels and therefore improves the health of productive and attractive.
