Taking away 1 lane from each direction and landscaping the sidewalks and the median would be amazing, especially for that area since its really on the up lately (I think)

Broad street is a state highway so I believe the city is prevented from making any changes on their own and PennDOT is notoriously terrible and disdainful of Philadelphia. So unfortunately this is very unlikely to happen, but you are certainly right that Broad Street would really benefit from an extreme road diet.
