PennPraxis and the civic associations of the central Delaware riverfront would like to invite you to the public presentation of An Action Plan for the Central Delaware. Since the completion of the Civic Vision last November, PennPraxis has worked with the central Delaware riverfront civic associations to develop a series of recommendations for leaders to use to implement the civic vision. Together, they have produced An Action Plan for the Central Delaware, with ten steps over the next ten years to allow Philadelphia to realize a truly world-class riverfront.

Andy Altman, Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, is expected to attend, and Mayor Michael Nutter has been invited as well.

We hope you can join us for the public presentation of a vision for the future of the central Delaware riverfront. The vision is the product of a year-long planning process in which over 4,000 Philadelphians worked to imagine a bright future for seven miles of Philadelphia’s original riverfront: from Allegheny Avenue in the north to Oregon Avenue in the south.

Wednesday, November 14
Pennsylvania Convention Center, West Entrance, 12th and Arch Streets
6:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served at 5:30.

Register online: www.planphilly.com/registration.

The final presentation will include new graphics and design ideas of the vision, as well as opportunities for comment and feedback. A reception will follow at the end of the program.

Dear YPP,

There is a great planning initiative underway here in Philadelphia, and we invite you to be a part of it with this discussion. The Central Delaware Riverfront Planning Process, organized by PennPraxis in partnership with the City Planning Commission, is well underway to create a civic vision for seven miles of the Delaware waterfront (Oregon to Allegheny Avenues). Public input will drive and inform this plan.

We have our first stage of public forums, which are built around discussing what residents value about their neighborhood and the river.

Monday, Dec. 11: Saint Anne's Social Hall, Memphis and Tucker Streets (off Lehigh Ave)
Wednesday, Dec. 13: George Washington School, 5th and Federal Streets
Thursday, Dec. 14: Independence Seaport Museum, Penn's Landing

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for registration and refreshments, and the forum will begin promptly at 6:15 p.m. Please RSVP at www.planphilly.com/registration
