Mill Creek can be found on 19th century maps of Philadelphia, draining more than 4,000 acres of West Philadelphia with its main stem and several tributaries. While some of the place names associated with this stream still exist — including the Overbrook and Mill Creek neighborhoods — the stream itself was long ago obliterated within the city limits.

Registration is now open for the Vision Zero for PHL 2019 Conference on March 16. The event is organized by the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia. The Department of Planning and Community Development is proud to partner with them to bring the conference to Temple and to sponsor the event.
Vision Zero for PHL 2019 Conference is the fourth annual conference hosted by the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia. This year’s conference features talks by Veronica Davis of Nspiregreen, Coralette Hannon of AARP, Deputy Managing Director Brian Abernathy, Council President Darrell Clarke, and Mayor Jim Kenney. Alison Conway of City College and Amy Cohen of Families of Safe Streets (NYC) will also be speaking. Topics range from planning, equity and implementation challenges and opportunities, such as managing freight in urban environments, protected bike lanes, neighborhood listening sessions, project delivery, organizing families of traffic victims and a traffic calming monopoly game.
The Bicycle Coalition is able to offer the general public tickets at a sliding scale, ensuring that the most vulnerable populations to traffic violence are able to attend.

How long have you worked at DVRPC?
Since August 2010
What are the main responsibilities of your job?
I lead DVRPC’s community revitalization work. This includes managing the Classic Towns of Greater Philadelphia program and leading our Municipal Outreach program. My colleagues and I in the Office of Community and Economic Development are also updating the Greater Philadelphia region’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). Additionally, I convene a group of people interested in data, GIS, and modeling related to water quality and land preservation/restoration, as part of the William Penn Foundation’s Delaware River Watershed Initiative.
