North Broad needs to have a coordinated remake. Seems to me, putting a long term vision for the corridor would attract developers. It needs to develop a more pedestrian friendly atmosphere. Develop a distinctive look. Intersections should have a strong pedestrian emphasis. Intersections should have distinctive pavings and crosswalks. The intersections where there are subway stations need particular attention.
Attract development above subway stations by offering incentives, such as less height restrictions in exchange for integrated and improved station entrances. It needs to develop a sense of space. Investment brings investment. North Broad, from City Hall thru Temple (later to No Philly) should be a priority investment for the city. This should be the poster child for complete streets in Philly.
