The Benjamin Franklin Park Avenue reimagining project continued, and three finalists competed for the right to oversee the redesign of Popular Avenue.

But before the design team is formally selected, city officials are seeking public opinion on the three proposals currently being reviewed by the Philadelphia Office of Parks and Recreation and Transportation, Infrastructure and Sustainability.

City officials said that during the five-week public participation seminar, the three design teams explored Parkway, its history, and current uses. The three finalists then demonstrated their concept of turning the boulevard into a more dynamic and walk-friendly public space.

Thanks to the creative workshop, we have benefited from globally recognized leaders in traffic engineering and urban planning who are ready to share their creation of a livable and walkable for all.
