Adding a few cafes and a bar/restaurant would be a no brainer but I don't think it's essential. Cover up 76 with a soundproof wall, add some docks for booze cruises and kayaks while you're at it. It's a minute walk from 30th street station, 5 mins from Penn/Drexel and 10 minutes from UCity's financial core.

This plan was more realistic and better IMO:

I am with you on all counts and this is more of what I would envision if I were in charge.

That's a beautiful bus terminal over on the right. Let's build that first.

ELECTION ALERT: Please vote NO on the ballot question tomorrow. It is development related and would give RCOs much more power to block development.
