South Street Bridge to Close for Reconstruction Fall 2008
The City of Philadelphia has announced that the South Street Bridge is to be closed this fall in order to demolish and rebuild the failing structure. The City anticipates that this project will last up to 24 months. The closing of the Bridge for reconstruction will have a considerable impact on accessing neighborhood and potentially lead to increased traffic congestion in University City. To follow up-to-date developments regarding the South Street Bridge project visit www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/ssbridge.

2008 Inspirational Gardens Awards
University City District (UCD), in partnership with UC Green’s network of greening enthusiasts, is pleased to announce the fourth annual University City Inspirational Gardens Awards, and is currently seeking nominations. Because well-tended gardens inspire others, UCD believes garden tenders deserve special praise and recognition.
The 2008 awards will honor nominees for outstanding examples of creative gardening approaches. All nominees will be invited to a private reception and recognition ceremony. Entries must be postmarked by Friday, September 26. Those nominating do not have to own the garden or even know the gardener—just inform UCD about a University City garden you enjoy and would like to see commended.
