Ugh, another renovation that's gonna be a total pain to navigate... 
I'm not sure what's more annoying, the fact that they're widening sidewalks into drop-off lanes or that it'll probably just add to the traffic congestion on Broad Street. I mean, aren't they worried about tourists getting lost in this maze of construction? The whole project just feels like a money grab, if you ask me... 
Those native trees are gonna need some serious TLC after all that excavation. And don't even get me started on the lack of transparency – where's the public input on these decisions? It's always "we're doing this for the greater good" until someone has to actually walk through the mess. Can't they just design it with the people in mind instead of just trying to fit as much parking as possible?

! it's gonna be a game-changer for philly! 
! i'm all for it 
, but also kinda worried it's gonna be super gentrified and priced out of the community 
. I mean, who decides what's "cultural heritage" anyway? 
It sounds like they're just trying to make the area more touristy, which is cool, but we need to make sure that local artists and small businesses are still able to thrive in the new spaces 
. And what about accessibility for people with disabilities? Are they gonna be included in the "shared civic space" vibe 
? We need to make sure this whole thing isn't just a fancy way of saying "privatize public space" 
.
. Seriously though, it's about time South Broad Street got some love. All this talk of pedestrian-friendly spaces makes me wonder if they're gonna make a 'Walk-It-Out Tuesday' thingy happen there? 
Can't wait to check out the first phase by June and see the transformation for myself 
. And yeah, parking spaces might get a little scarce, but who needs cars when you've got greenery and fun?
