Instead of an 80-foot-wide expanse that cuts a dreary and dangerous furrow across Philadelphia’s midsection, what if there were sidewalks edged with rain gardens, tree-shaded bike lanes, and planted medians? What if the vehicular mosh pits at the Broad and Ridge intersections were reorganized into orderly crossings?
