Philadelphia Shows Off Reading Viaduct

The first images of the proposed Reading Viaduct in Philadelphia have hit the web after the design study was commissioned by the Center City District, and they strike more than just a passing resemblance to the High Line in New York City.  An elevated park more than a trail, the proposal would re-green and reuse the existing infrastructure along Callowhill Street between 11th and 12th and curving a quarter mile to the corner of 13th and Noble Streets, providing a safe area for foot traffic in a fairly congested space.  The plans cover what would be phase 1 of a larger project if successful.
