It hasn't happened because we're dealing with Penn which we know is a
lot less flexible and neighbor-friendly than the City.

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?
