Currently divided by I-95, Penn’s Landing could one day connect to Old City if a plan is made reality that would cover the highway and install a sloped park.
The executive committee of the non-profit Delaware River Waterfront Corporation is set to meet Thursday morning to discuss their Master Plan for the Central Delaware River -- a plan to redevelop Penn’s Landing.
The plan, already two and half years in the works, calls for eight acres of land stretching from Front Street in Old City over I-95 and Columbus Boulevard to connect Old City with the Delaware Riverfront. The roadways would be covered with parks and other development.
The plan is still in the preliminary stages. The board is expected to pick a designer for the graded park as well as connection points from South and Market Streets at Thursday’s meeting, according to the DWRC.
A 286-page report on the plan to transform the waterfront is available online.
