On July 14-15, 2016, in Philadelphia, PA, USDOT officials assisted by CNU experts hosted the first #EveryPlaceCounts workshop to generate a vision for improving community health, mobility, and opportunity. This workshop's focus, according to the City of Philadelphia:
"Philadelphia’s Vine Street Expressway, or I-676, cuts through the Drexel School of Medicine, Callowhill District, and Chinatown communities. The expressway has long impeded economic investment and access to green space for these neighborhoods along its path. The city aims to produce an aspirational vision for the seven-block focus area from 7th Street and Broad Street, along with a roadmap for further public engagement and an implementation plan."
#EveryPlaceCounts Workshop Details:
9:00am–5:00pm | July 14-15, 2016
