Project for Public Spaces is working with the Center City District to make Vine Street, through its public spaces, a connector and link between the various neighborhoods along it.

The project's goal is to integrate the road into its neighborhoods for the benefit of local people, including residents and businesses and to make this corridor an on-grade link between communities.

This initiative is looking at surface Vine Street as a local street in need of humanizing with improved pedestrian access. The focus is on creating "special places" in key destinations along Vine Street, such as Franklin Square, Chinatown, and Logan Square, all of which have the potential to become more active and attractive destinations.

Our approach to the planning and design of public spaces is based in creating a community vision for Vine Street through a series of meetings, stakeholder interviews, and community placemaking workshops.

The purpose of this site is to keep the communications channels open for additional input, ideas, and recommendations.
