PennDOT, in collaboration with the City of Philadelphia and SEPTA, is hosting an Open House on Roosevelt Boulevard. PennDOT representatives will be discussing interim improvements and selecting transportation alternatives for Roosevelt Boulevard.

Attend and tell PennDOT that you want a subway on Roosevelt Blvd!

Route For Change's Alternative 4 combines the construction of a subway with reconstruction of Roosevelt Boulevard as a neighborhood boulevard. It is the clear best alternative to prevent traffic, fatal collisions, and continued environmental damage, but also provides the best opportunity to develop housing and business with access to the boulevard. Join us to convince PennDOT to move forward with Alternative 4.

RSVP to join us before the meeting and receive some swag on your way in.

The RBS Team will be hosting a debrief of this and the upcoming representative's townhall meeting and there will be more opportunities to advocate in the near future.

Can't wait to see you there!

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Served by SEPTA Bus Routes 1, 14, 20, 70, 77, 88 & Boulevard Direct
Spanish and Chinese interpretation will be available.

Join 5th Square members and friends for our annual Holiday Party + Urbanist Awards Ceremony at Resurrection Philadelphia, 42nd & Pine Streets on Wednesday, December 13th at 7 PM!

5th Square will be presenting awards to members of our community for their outstanding contributions to Philadelphia’s urbanist movement.

Since 2014, 5th Square political action committee's all-volunteer team has been hard at work supporting candidates for public office who support our mission, and then holding them accountable between election cycles for building a city that works for all Philadelphians—with safe streets and sidewalks for pedestrians and cyclists, high-quality affordable transit, abundant housing choices, and high-quality public spaces in every neighborhood. 

Come celebrate with other Philadelphia built environment activists, neighborhood and community leaders, architects, planners, builders, and sustainability advocates at the urbanist holiday party of the season!

Drinks and light fare will be served.

Tickets are $30 purchased online ($40 at the door).
