Philadelphia, PA Inquirer,  5/6/15:

 


City moving forward on Reading Viaduct Rail Park

 

The city is moving to purchase a portion of the Reading Viaduct in anticipation of the development of an elevated park there.

 

Councilman Mark Squilla introduced a bill last week that would authorize the purchase of the portion of the viaduct curving from 13th Street southeast to Callowhill between 11th and 12th. The 0.8-acre property is currently owned by SEPTA. It rises from ground-level up to the elevated portion of the viaduct to the east, a former rail line that’s been out of use for 30 years.

Akin to the High Line park in New York City.
