Director, Schuylkill River Development Council
The Schuylkill River Development Council has recently completed a vision plan
for the Tidal Schuylkill River, entitled Rediscovering Philadelphia's Hidden
River. The plan is intended to build on successful work to date and chart a
collective vision for the river from the Art Museum to its mouth at the Delaware
River.
3. Central Delaware River Plan - Scott Page, Wallace Roberts

The Citizens Alliance for Better Neighborhoods, a coalition of neighborhood
organizations along the Central Delaware River waterfront in Philadelphia, has
recently retained the firm of Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC, to prepare a
vision plan for the Central Delaware River waterfront. The intent of this plan
is to provide a larger context and a vision for future development along the
river, including but not limited to potential development at the Penn's Landing
site.

The TCDI program was initiated by the DVRPC Board in 2002 to provide direct

and improved transportation conditions. Staff will present the results of an
assessment of the first year of the program and discuss options for continuing
the program into the future.
