Manayunk Canal overhaul to focus on better lighting, signage
On Rector Street, a proposed idea includes leveling off a cobblestoned area and turning it into a public seating. For the Green Lane entrance, turning the wooden steps into an accessible ramp was discussed. Attendees also talked about the need to make Canal View Park a more open space, that is better lit and more visible from Main Street.
Lighting on the water and on the facade of the buildings on the canal was also discussed.
"There are some wonderful old buildings back there and you can really make a visual statement here," said Sykora.
The group plans to wrap up feasibility planning by July.
