What is YOUR vision for Powelton Village?

At this critical moment in the history of Powelton Village, consensus among neighbors is key to successfully crafting a vision for the future. What is YOUR vision for the neighborhood? Should recommendations seek to be transformative or pragmatic? Can we do both?
The orange areas on the map show sites that are currently vacant or underutilized, or where some change is likely to occur. What should happen in these places? Should new retail and housing occur at a higher density along the Lancaster Avenue and Spring Garden corridors or should smaller, more decentralized neighborhood nodes occur throughout the neighborhood?

Neighborhood Plan Open House

Thanks to everyone who showed up to share their ideas at the Open House on May 31. We had a great turnout- over sixty folks participated in the event!

There was significant agreement about the issues that the neighborhood faces. The top three concerns that were voiced throughout the day were:

1) Absentee ownership and student housing
2) Deferred maintenance (trash, dilapidated buildings, etc.)
3) Lack of services (drug store, grocery store, restaurants, etc.)
