Ruka kwa yaliyomo kuu

Pana, Germantown, na Erie (BGE)

Kuleta marejesho, urembo, usalama wa trafiki, na uwekezaji katika jiji la Kaskazini Philadelphia.

Kuhusu

Ilianza mnamo 2017, Mradi wa Broad, Germantown, na Erie ni juhudi ya pamoja kati ya idara za Jiji na mashirika ya ujirani. Malengo ya mradi ni:

  • Fanya makutano salama. Mabadiliko yaliyopendekezwa kwa mtiririko wa trafiki yataboresha usalama wa watembea kwa miguu na dereva.
  • Unda nafasi mpya za umma. Plaza mbili mpya zitajengwa kwenye makutano na kutafakari muundo unaoendeshwa na jamii.
  • Kujenga ajira na kusaidia biashara. Washirika wa jamii wamepokea ufadhili ulioongezeka wa kusafisha barabarani, na maboresho ya mbele ya duka yanaendelea. Msaada wa biashara unaendelea, kama vile utafiti juu ya kukodisha ndani.
  • Heshima historia ya ndani. Timu ya wapenda historia ya ujirani inazingatia majengo ya kihistoria, insha za picha, makusanyo ya historia, na sanaa ya umma na alama. Wanachagua picha za kihistoria za bustani ya “pop-up” na kusaidia kuongoza mchakato wa uteuzi wa msanii kwa sanaa ya umma kwenye plazas.

Washirika wa jamii wanashirikiana na Jiji kwenye mradi huu na kutoa mwelekeo. Washirika wetu wanatushauri juu ya jinsi ya kufikia, kutoa duru ya kwanza ya maoni ya jamii, na kupendekeza maboresho ya mradi huo.
