Thanks Mayor Michael Nutter for your short-sightedness and green-lighting this move!!!!!    |
A new park in the middle of an area with minimal foot traffic and no office workers would make absolutely no sense. As someone said earlier, years from now this could be similar to the Collins park on Chestnut which is very popular in the warmer months. Hopefully taking this lot out of play will focus development dollars on the remaining lots in this area. As of right now- Im not hearing of any pressing proposals.
