Streetscape

The Center City District has been working for over a decade to transform the Ben Franklin Parkway into an animated, pedestrian-friendly cultural campus.

Trees, greenery, parks and open space relieve the urban landscape, provide recreational opportunities, help control stormwater runoff, improve the environment and provide shade and relief from summer heat.

Throughout Center City, signs, posters and banners installed and maintained by the CCD orient and inform, while adding color and excitement to downtown streets.
