Study Area Maps

The study areas addressed by the District Plan are the greater 30th Street Station complex and the adjacent neighborhoods. The Primary Study Area is the boundary for physical interventions contemplated by the Coordinating Committee, primarily focusing on the station and facilities, transportation infrastructure, potential rail yard overbuild, and commercial opportunities. The 30th Street Station District, comprised of the Primary Study Area and surrounding neighborhoods, were studied for its potential to impact and be impacted by the Primary Study Area.

Neighborhoods and Parks: The District is surrounded by many unique neighborhoods. The District also benefits from its proximity to a network of regional and neighborhood parks, but contains only one civic space - The Porch - within the study area boundaries.

Transit System: Travelers take over 63,000 trips on a daily basis using one or more of the many transit modes in the District, including rail, subway, trolley, and bus.

Bicycle Network: The District’s bicycle network extends through much of the study area however there are critical gaps that must be filled to complete the network.

Pedestrian Circulation: Philadelphia is a highly walkable, pedestrian-friendly city. Compared to much of the city, though, the quality of pedestrian and cycling infrastructure in the 30th Street Station District varies greatly and the ability to travel conveniently varies street-by-street.

An Intermodal Station: Vertical separation allows for integration of Amtrak, SEPTA, NJ Transit, and a variety of surface transportation modes into a single building.District varies greatly and the ability to travel conveniently varies street-by-street.

Pipeline Development: A number of projects have been recently completed, are under construction or are planned for the district and neighboring areas.
