82007 | Westpark Redevelopment

The Westpark Redevelopment Project will reconnect neighborhoods in West Philadelphia by constructing a new street grid. The project will reconnect 1,000 units of mixed-income housing in the Westpark campus with the SEPTA rail station to the southwest, park space to the north, and adjacent streets to the north, west, and south with a new network of shared streets, sidewalks and bicycle infrastructure. The Project will support the transformation of the existing 12-acre site from an isolated campus with three high rises in a state of disrepair into a dynamic, mixed-income community. The project will involve a public-private partnership between the Philadelphia Housing Authority, the City of Philadelphia, and committed urban development partners. The investment will provide connection and inclusive growth in a neighborhood where residents are fearing displacement, in a census tract that is an Area of Persistent Poverty in an urban area.
