Northern Liberties Business Improvement District (NLBID) announces the development of the Northern Liberties Streetscape Vision Plan.

The public-realm focused plan will consider pedestrian, bike, and vehicular circulation, as well as furnishing, greening, lighting, signage, and other considerations including potential new spaces of community collection. Funding for the planning process is supported by a grant from the Penn Treaty Special Services District.
