Broad Street To Be Closed For 8 Days
 |
Starting tomorrow at 5 a.m., Broad will be closed off from JFK Boulevard to Race Street northbound and from Race Street to Arch Street southbound. SEPTA's buses will have a bunch of detours (see the map from KYW 1060 at right).
The closing is taking place because of the demolishing of a building at Broad and Cherry streets; the Convention Center expansion project director says: "It's kind of an extraordinary circumstance. And the measures taken for public safety reasons are also extraordinary." Oh, well it's all okay if it's an extraordinary situation, then. I thought it was more inconvenient, but now I understand.

Excellent. Now the union workers will be able to smoke, eat and loiter in the street with no pesky traffic to bother them.
