THE RAIL PARK: VIADUCT GREENWAY
The next phase of The Rail Park, the Viaduct Greenway, will convert an abandoned railroad viaduct, 6.8 acres of brownfields that run for 6/10th of a mile from Vine Street to Fairmount Avenue, into an elevated park that links neighborhoods together, connecting them to downtown with an active transportation trail. Initial improvements that link to Phase I of The Rail Park at Callowhill Street, include environmental remediation, structural repairs, a linear trail with basic lighting and safety elements and multiple points of access, with more amenities designed in partnership with adjacent community groups.
For the latest information on the project timeline and community involvement, see the updates from Center City District.
