American Street Improvements

Overview

Project #50175 is a partnership project with the Philadelphia Streets Department, along with Department of Commerce, Streets Department, Philadelphia City Planning Commission, and PennDOT and US DOT, to make improvements along American Street between Girard and Indiana Avenues.

The improvements include rehabilitating sidewalks with extensions at intersections that reduce pedestrian crossing distances, new medians with green stormwater infrastructure, protected bike lanes, new street trees, and new lighting. The street will be resurfaced with new pavement markings and signs installed.
