Also, while adding density along Girard Avenue is always a great thing, it seems like such a missed opportunity to not include any commercial uses. With the way that Francisville and Templetown have been building, the stretch of Girard from Broad to 18th would seem like a good area for some storefronts. The closest commercial corridor north of Girard is Cecil B. Moore Avenue, and the closest corridor south of Girard is Fairmount Avenue. At least the lack of retail along Girard will help build up Cecil B. Moore, and, according to my observations, eventually build up a revitalized commercial corridor along Susquehanna Avenue.
