Comments on: “The Porch” at 30th Street Station Welcomes You to Philadelphia http://www.streetfilms.org/30th-street-stations-the-porch-welcomes-you-to-philadelphia/ Documenting Livable Streets Worldwide Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: vh http://www.streetfilms.org/30th-street-stations-the-porch-welcomes-you-to-philadelphia/comment-page-1/#comment-264885 vh Mon, 13 Aug 2012 17:19:00 +0000 http://www.streetfilms.org/?p=52871#comment-264885 I walk through this area on a regular weekly commute, and since this space has opened, the pedestrian experience has improved hugely! It was really unsafe before, and not a fitting welcome to the city. There is still some construction going on around the Porch that is improving sidewalk ramps and changing the traffic pattern (thank goodness...Market St here is a death trap for cyclists).  I am looking forward to a few years from now when the trees grow in.

The price is also reasonable at $22 per day, which is $5 cheaper than 30th street station but just as close.
