A 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.
Work begins to understand traffic safety and business operations issues on the 52nd Street commercial corridor.
Community engagement begins. 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.
A draft conceptual design plan for the 52nd Street commercial corridor is developed based on analysis and community feedback. The draft plan is shared for feedback from the public and from technical partners (e.g., SEPTA, PennDOT).
The draft conceptual design plan is revised based on feedback from technical partners and community members.
The updated conceptual design is shared with community members for input. Additional changes are made as needed.
The conceptual design is finalized. The City seeks funds for construction.
