Northern Liberties Kicks Off The Planning Process For A New Streetscape Vision Plan

Northern Liberties Business Improvement District (NLBID) announces the development of the Northern Liberties Streetscape Vision Plan. The young business district enters its third full year of operation preparing for a major growth in residential and commercial business. The population in the popular Philadelphia neighborhood is expected to nearly double in two short years, with 4,600 new residential units and 184,655 square feet of commercial on deck or under construction. NLBID has selected award-winning architecture firm KieranTimberlake, whose own office is located in the heart of Northern Liberties, to partner with Philadelphia-based PORT Urbanism to re-envision the 2nd Street commercial corridor and set a path for the next ten years of growth. 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.
