Some News:
1) Cira South: The parking garage is about halfway done. It is now a presence, and a handsome façade...for a parking garage. There is still space on either side for the two proposed towers, and I hope that a deal can be worked out soon.
2) South Street Bridge: The original bridge was demo'd all the way down to the pierheads and new piers have been built atop. All three main piers are finished, so superstructure installation ought to begin shortly.
3) UPenn Park (for lack of a better name): Demolition of the current parking lots has begun. Exactly how they'll demo the east lot's up in the air since it's currently being used as a Cira South receiving yard. (There is also a disused rail spur down there that I'd hope would be used as a decorative element of some sort in the park.)
4) The JFK Bvld Bridge really does look a lot better!
