Frankford Avenue Lighting Project
Frankford Avenue is about to get a little bit brighter! NKCDC received funding from the William Penn Foundation to provide pedestrian level lighting on buildings along the corridor. These decorative fixtures not only look great, they use high intensity discharge bulbs that are energy efficient and cost effective to the building owners or tenants. Approximately 10 buildings along Frankford Avenue selected the fixtures that best fit their needs.
The lighting will make the street feel safer and more vibrant -encouraging pedestrian activity in the evening. Installation has started and will take place over the coming weeks. In addition, the city of Philadelphia announced in October that it is investing an additional $1.5 million towards streetscape improvements planned for the arts corridor from York Street to Palmer. This money will be combined with the $1.8 million already raised to ensure that the community-based plan for sidewalks, street trees, benches, signage and public art will come to fruition.
