A short while ago, the City Planning Commission passed a bill authorizing the City to acquire an portion of the elevated rail line known as the “Viaduct,” and to lease a portion of the property to SEPTA. Those following the development of ‘Philadelphia’s High Line’ know that this means Phase I of The Rail Park is officially underway, with plans still to break ground later in 2015. To all of you, this means that one of the hottest public spaces in Philadelphia is coming soon to the Eraserhood. Or Callowhill. Whatever. You’re gonna want to be here when it does.
