On July 15, 2026, Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, alongside partners, officially opened MY Market East, the public engagement hub of the Market East Revival. This City-operated storefront was a place where anyone could drop in to find out about the work of the Market East Revival, see new and archival displays, models, and photos, talk one-on-one with a city planner, and share their vision for the future of Market East.

The MY Market East storefront hosted a scale model of the street, as envisioned by Thomas Jefferson University design students. Photos of Market East across the years helped guests reminisce and share memories of the street. It also featured an activity where visitors can create their own vision for Market East by mixing and matching their favorite elements of various proposals on display.

MY Market East was part of Meantime on Market, a temporary activation of storefronts owned by a joint venture between Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment and Comcast. Meantime, a local nonprofit that puts under-utilized spaces to work for communities, grew from architecture firm ISA.

This hub welcomed residents, workers, tourists, and community organizations for drop-in engagement and focused conversations. Overall, MY Market East welcomed 737 visitors who completed 430 postcards. While the MY Market East storefront operated, the Market East Revival planning team collected over 500 responses to a survey that focused on how people use, experience and move through Market East. Across this public engagement, Philadelphians called for a safe, welcoming and lively Market East that reflects the communities it serves.
