1. Add trees to the medians along Broad St. at Olney Ave. Create a unified design plan for the signage and facades of the various business districts along Broad St. and Old York Rd incorporating more street trees. Adopt a "no chain link fence" policy for homes and businesses along Broad and Old York Rd. (Provide well designed standard options for fencing, if necessary, with incentives for home owners and businesses. Encourage "green" fencing, like shrubbery and smaller trees instead.)

2.Partner with SEPTA and PECO to install designer trash receptacles, benches, and lighting along N. Broad St and Old York Rd from Cheltenham Ave. through the Roosevelt Extention at Broad.
Create a plan for better maintenance of new trash receptacles with the Streets Department.

3. Help the home owners to better maintain the beautiful 'London Planes' along Broad St., and immeditely replace them with the same tree when they die. These large canopy trees are historic to our area and are intrinsically linked to our collective landscape (Don't let PECO and Asplund near these trees with their terrible pruning!).

*4. Redesign the overpass at the Roosevelt Expressway extension at Broad St. as well as the overpass at Cheltenham Avenue and Old York Rd. (Philly's Northern Gateway), replacing the chainlink fencing with more stately and welcoming fencing. Create build-outs on the bridges there for landscaping and small trees (example: Vine St. Expressway project in Center City). Also, GreenPlan could partner with NTI to restore the once beautiful facades of the blighted homes along the Roosevelt Extention off Broad St. This would better reflect Philadelphia's rich tradition of great architecure throughout its neighborhoods, and help to unify the green design plan.

Thank you for considering and implementing this very important Greenplan project!
