Developing a series of improvements to create a more inviting corridor that is safe, accessible, and reliable for residents, visitors, employees, and commuters, including those who walk, wheel, transit, bicycle, and drive.
Tonight’s (11/15/18) Roosevelt Boulevard Route for Change Public Workshop is postponed to a later date due to the weather. We want you to have a safe night to participate and will announce a new date shortly. Our regrets for any inconvenience. Thank you.
Behavior, the interaction of modes, and unusual design characteristics combine to put the traveling public at greater risk of harm.
The Boulevard separates local communities because it is difficult for every type of user to cross 12 lanes of traffic to access services, schools, employment, and attractions.
People who walk, wheel, transit, bicycle, and drive experience unexpected delays, aging sidewalks, narrow medians, and limited bicycle facilities, making travel along the Boulevard unpredictable and frustrating.
As the defining piece of transportation infrastructure in Northeast Philadelphia, the Boulevard does not welcome every type of user and falls short of its potential to bolster the social and economic vibrancy of neighboring communities.
