The Frankford Avenue Connector advances DRWC’s mission to connect Philadelphia’s riverfront communities to the Delaware River.
Through a series of thoughtful design interventions along Frankford Avenue, DRWC and our designers at PORT Urbanism hope to better link the Fishtown neighborhood with the Waterfront through these installations:
- Wayfinding, lighting, and public art in the form of a large sculptural intervention in the I-95 underpass
- A parklet system along the northern stretch of Frankford Avenue
In the future, there is also a possibility of additional design features such as:
- A pedestrian plaza near the southern terminus of Frankford Avenue near Laurel Street
- A small plaza along the Rivers Casino entryway off of Delaware Avenue
- An enhanced lawn with seating and planting between the Rivers Casino building and its valet parking area
