An opportunity arose to get first-hand information on PennPraxis' current role in 40th St. planning.
Andrew Goodman, a planning fellow with PennPraxis, explained U Penn originally asked PennPraxis to assist in starting the group Friends of 40th St. in 2004. That role continues. PennPraxis' function is solely to facilitate meetings for Friends of 40th St. This service is one specialty of PennPraxis, which it is known for in many other arenas. Friends of 40th St. holds regular monthly meetings on the last Friday of every month at the Community Room of 3901 Market St. The next meeting will be Sep. 26. There will be presentations on the trolley portal renovation, the Lancaster Ave. Jazz Fest, retail in the Radian building and more. The developer of the extended-stay hotel project made a presentation to Friends of 40th St. It's an appropriate subject for Friends of 40th St. meetings and Goodman welcomed people who are interested in this subject to attend those meetings. -- Tony West ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
