Imagine a beach on the banks of the Schuylkill River, along with a giant public park and a pool. It's all part of a new $60 million plan to connect Center City with University City.

30th Street Station and the area around it is known for a lot of car and foot traffic. And it’s about to get even busier with what’s being called a public plaza with a pool."Access to a public park and services sounds great," said Krista Campbell. But one look at the renderings and one can see it’s much more elaborate than that. It will also include a natural beach covered entertainment venue, a promenade with access to food trucks and rideshares."I think that will be really cool.

You don’t want it to feel exclusive or just for a certain class of people who live in these apartments right here," said Fallon."I don’t know the pitfalls of the project, if it’s necessarily the best use of the city’s resources or if there’s maybe other areas that can benefit from it more. But I think it’s a great concept," said Subritzkykatz.The UCD, a special services non-profit is behind the project and will maintain it.
