Rosemary Daley writes in: Everyone complains about I-95 access to Penns Landing, my question is why didn’t we take the offer from the Atlantis project. This was a fully funded project that would have covered I-95. Mr. Ing was willing to work with all neighborhoods prior to each phase. This was a fully funded project with only the tax abatements allowed by the city being asked. They would even adjust the plan for Penn’s Landing to fit. This city has tunnel vision and pay to play, that is why we are not a world-class city. A waterfront that since the 80s nothing has been done, even the maintenance is lacking. Just look at the way the fountain tiles on Penns Landing have been replaced in sections, not with tile, but concrete. Is this maintenance? Penns Landing is shabby and tourists ask how we can let our waterfront be so poorly planned and maintained. Not everyone wants to go to the Parkway.
