“We’re still finalizing the details but there will be incubator space,” Demming said. “We’re still deciding what exactly will be there.” One source said the plan could include several local incubators banded together when the tower is scheduled to open at 18th and Arch streets in 2017. |

El has stops at 30th, 34th and 40th Streets. Regional rail has stops at 30th Street and University City. The only 2 additions that may be needed are: 1. short bus route to the new CHOP complex 2. a regional rail stop around Penn's south campus (old Dupont Lab complex) |
west phila transit connections
As a volunteer I have given architectural tours for the AIA Center for Architecture for many years and many times I had people on our tour from other parts of the country and the world who were staying in a B&B in West Phila and were amazed at how easy it was to get to CC and beyond with the trolleys. This includes people from cities with good public transit like Chicago.

I was thinking more along the lines of a subway from Independence Mall (6th and Walnut) that makes stops on 10th, Broad, 17th, 21st, River Bike Path, (then goes under or over Walnut St Bridge), 30th, 34th, 38th, and 44th.
This would be a huge investment though and a long term thing. If we are trying to become a world class city however, our transportation needs to reach further than just Broad St and Market St as far as subways. I think having subways on Broad, Market, and Walnut along with the good train lines to the mainline and surrounding areas, and the buses we would have a much improved system. Also we really have to renovate some of the subway stops. Race/Market/Walnut/Lombard are all frequented a lot, but look like trash. |

That seem really redundant. If anything it woul make more sense to either bring the PATCO line around to 19th and Arch or JFK or extend to South the Walnut line you describe already has great service from multiple rail transit options - dont see the need honestly |

Expanding the Broad St subway to the Navy Yard makes sense. Constructing a light rail / trolley line along Delaware Ave/ Columbus Blvd that loops to the Sports complex and Navy Yard makes sense. Putting in a regional rail station at the Zoo makes sense. Building a Walnut Street subway is stupid. It serves an area already covered by mass transit. |

Yeah lets get back to talking about how boxy and awkward this building is. ;)
Joking aside, this building is growing. I am really curious if they are going to enhance it, I mean it has happened before with the 1WTC, or the 2nd one. Maybe office demand will skyrocket and they will change the height to 2000'. |

Chris Wheeler Dumped by the Phillies, Phillyskyline.com back on line, and a "super tall" in Philly.:cheers: ......If only the design was slightly less odd looking, IMHO I don't care for tacked on spires or asymmetrical designs and this thing has both of those faults, The worst of it is blocking the view of Liberty 1&2 from the art museum....oh well I hope it lights up the skyline well at night. :shrug: Any Plans for a Mini Willie Penn on top of that Spire?;) Gota ditch the sports curse...again. |

While the national media loves that view, we all know the real best view to be from the South Street Bridge. Anyone good with photoshop care to take a stab at that view? |
