Westbank Greenway Construction About to Get Underway

Last week the Streets Department finalized the construction contract for Phase 1 of the Westbank Greenway which will connect the 32nd and Market neighborhood to the Spring Garden St Bridge. Construction activity could begin as early as Mid December.

One of the most important improvements will occur at the intersection of the Eakins Oval with Spring Garden St. A ramp will carry cyclists down to a marked crosswalk to the Schuylkill River Trail. A new traffic light will allow bicyclists and pedestrians to cross Spring Garden St to access the back driveway of the Art Museum.

When we get a current copy of the plans we will share them with you.
