I walked by there yesterday and the license posted by the lot entrance on Franklin Town Bvld. just says that it expires six months from the date of issuance (I think that's what it said, anyway)...If it expires in June, that must mean it was granted in January?
Unfortunately, it
still is a parking lot with a helluva lot of pigeons roaming around.
It's actually a decent spot, btw. It's two blocks east of the Family Court (needs to be a museum) and the 17th Street Bridge is
far safer than the 16th St. one. Improved pedestrian connections at 16th would be an important community concession.
Final thought: something ought to be done about that parking lot at 17th and Vine, too...along with the surface lots all around Hahnemann U. Hospital. They're so bad you could practically build a boulevard through them all the way from Broad north of Race to LOVE Park.
