52nd Street commercial corridor improvement project


A Complete Streets project

52nd Street commercial corridor improvement project timeline

2025

Early 2025

A transit study is conducted to identify transit speed and reliability issues on the Route 52 along 52nd Street from Parkside Avenue to Baltimore Avenue. This includes the 52nd Street commercial corridor from Pine to Arch streets. Design recommendations are made to improve bus service on the Route 52.

Summer/Fall 2025

Businesses and neighbors are asked for feedback on traffic safety issues and potential design tools via an online survey, pop-up events, and door-to-door canvassing. A walk audit is conducted with stakeholders and input is gathered from transit riders, business owners, and people who live near or visit the corridor.

2026

Early 2026

A draft conceptual design plan for the 52nd Street commercial corridor is developed based on analysis and community input. The draft plan is shared for feedback from the public and from technical partners (e.g., SEPTA, PennDOT).

Spring/Summer 2026

The draft conceptual design plan is revised based on feedback from technical partners and community members. The updated conceptual design is shared again with community members for input. Additional changes are made as needed.

2027

Starting 2027

The conceptual design is finalized. The City seeks funds to start construction.
