A New View preview: A look at large art installations in Camden
CAMDEN Commuters look out the windows as the PATCO Hi-Speedline trains rumble past a dead-end lot on Pershing Street in Camden s Whitman Park neighborhood.

And it s keeping watch on this vacant lot tucked inside a neighborhood along the Hi-Speedline not only to entertain riders, but also to call attention to a serious problem plaguing the City of Camden: illegal dumping and pollution.

The shipyard, located beneath the surface parking lot, is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.
In recent months, Durst has conducted public events showcasing artifacts found during an initial series of excavations. Additional events are planned pending the status of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of the preservation effort, the development will improve access to the historic Wood Street Steps between Water and Front streets, just west of the proposed tower, the developer said.
