    5. The Route 72 Fruitville Pike Bridge was structurally deficient and needed to be replaced. Because of its location (physical and visual prominence), the community wanted the new bridge to be a true gateway to the City of Lancaster. It is also an area where multiple modes come together—vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit traffic all come together.The Route 72 Fruitville Pike Bridge was structurally deficient and needed to be replaced.

    7. The Girard Avenue interchange project is a major infrastructure rehabilitation project that includes goals of improving congestion and reconnecting the Delaware River to the neighborhoods of Philadelphia. The District and the City coordinated closely to ensure that pedestrians and bicyclists were considered and access to transit—Girard Avenue Trolley were incorporated. The multi-use path that would be developed as part of the project will eventually connect to the East Coast Greenway, a 3,000 mile multi-use path linking East Coast cities from Maine to Florida.The Girard Avenue interchange project is a major infrastructure rehabilitation project that includes goals of improving congestion and reconnecting the Delaware River to the neighborhoods of Philadelphia.
