It's an interesting proposal, but I have one concern that go with all "outdoor" venues.
How to control the issue of "smoking" when you have to protect the rights of "non-smokers". As a non-smoker, I feel very restricted with my dining options. As a tower in an of itself, it's too short to be visible to the skyline and will be seen as a gap from greater distances. On the street level, the retail element will be a welcome amenity that is pretty common with responsible developers. From the illustration provided, the fascade leaves much to be desired. :shrug: It looks old and outdated as is. |
As someone who has lived off 17th Street for over 5 years now, and in fear of sounding like a NIMBY, the taxi queues, pax loading/unloading, convention center bus pick up serving the half a dozen or so hotels along this stretch make the route almost unnavigable about 75% of the day.

We're not preserving a shitty parking garage for a restaurant when said restaurant can easily find another location in Center City.

One thing I've noticed in Center City is that parking is really a hassle, and its expensive too. Although there's been times I go on the weekend and its free. Usually, I park right near Cherry Street. In terms of traffic, I never really noticed it being super bad in that area, and this being on a weekday. But it could just be luck I guess. |
