From the DP:
Many of the 11 new revisions were first formally recommended in an
April study commissioned by the coalition, which includes community
leaders and associations, such as the Bicycle Coalition of Greater
Philadelphia.
The revised plan has reduced that number (of vehicle lanes) to four to
accommodate wider lanes for pedestrians and bicycles.

I was happy to read that article, and glad to see that you
posted it. it reads as a nice example of what neighbors can
do when they work together -- hammer out alternatives and
compromises so that everyone's concerns are respected AND
progress is made. a civic win/win.
why hasn't something like that happened with the
penn-proposed hotel at 40th street? why are we still stuck
with an 11-story hotel as the only option for that corner?
