Mike Carroll, Philadelphia's deputy managing director for Transportation and Infrastructure, speaks Tuesday at the groundbreaking of the Old City Market Street Improvement Project. To his immediate left, Councilmember Mark Squilla and Bill Marrazzo, chair of the nonprofit Independence Historical Trust, confer as Job Itzkowitz, executive director of Old City District, looks on.
Market Street in Old City will become an easier place to walk, bike, and eat by the country’s semiquincentennial, thanks to a transformation project that kicked off Tuesday. But Philadelphians can expect some headaches in the meantime. The project spans Second to Sixth Streets. Changes will include protected bike lanes, reduced vehicle lanes, intersection bump outs, and a newly constructed plaza for the Chief Tamanend statue. The upgrades are part of a broader rethinking of Philly’s historical district that would include new green spaces and improved navigability between sites, especially for those traveling by foot and bike. Meanwhile, in Atlantic City, dispensary owners who have been waiting nearly a year for permission to open a lounge finally got word last week that applications will open as soon as January. Some have already spent big on spaces they built out, but can’t yet operate. “Disappointment and frustration are the two words I would use to describe the situation,” one proprietor said. “There’s at least a little bit of positivity in the fact that we now have a timeline.” It’s the latest phase in Atlantic City’s journey to becoming Jersey’s premier weed destination — even as some dispensary owners worry that the local market may already be oversaturate
