Months ago, the GCCA Board supported a plan to extend safe Bike Lanes and shorten pedestrian crossing distance on Chestnut Street west of 45th Streets.
Please see the attached Construction Notice and City press release here:
https://www.phila.gov/media/20220606131347/Chestnut_Street_RepavingSafetyProject_ConstructionNotice_June2022-1.pdf
In the coming weeks, you’ll see Coming Soon notices posted along both sides of the street with information about the new layout and info to find out more about the project.
Our team is available to answer any questions or concerns from neighbors and to share information on how the blocks will look different with the new layout.
Please reach out with any questions or concerns and I’ll stay in touch with updates on the project.
Thank you,
Jeannette
