"Transportation, supportive neighborhoods, and jobs are all linked together."
The 52nd Street Community Transit Hub design illustrates how this can be achieved in Philadelphia. The project was awarded a special commendation by the Transportation Ideas Competition for which it was submitted. The overall view (top) shows the portal linking the two levels of the new regional rail station to the plaza which has a farmer's market in the center, and trolley, bus, and van access around its edges. The farmer's market is overlooked by a large video display screen for both transit information and public entertainment. On the far side of the plaza is the Gateway building. Visible beyond it is parking.
