Blossom at Bartram

Features

Throughout the project’s extensive community engagement, residents and property owners supported dramatic change to make this corridor safer, greener, more welcoming, and accessible. The project corridor, which is on the City of Philadelphia’s High Injury Network, suffers from speeding, driver confusion, and unsafe trolley stops. The corridor is a barrier to Bartram’s Garden, Bartram’s Village – a large affordable housing site, the Schuylkill River Trail, SEPTA’s new trolley facility, and PIDC’s redevelopment sites. The Blossom at Bartram Complete Streets project turns these barriers into gateways by redesigning roadways to include:

• Accessible Trolley Stations
• Clearer, Standardized Travel Lanes
• Simplified Intersections
• New Sidewalks
• Two-way Raised, Separated Bike Lanes
