Like 90% of Washington to Spring garden and the Delaware to the Schuykill should be 20mph or less.

People shouldn’t expect to be able to speed through a dense city center in a car.

Send them to Houston.

We have one of the most walkable/bikeable cities in America— purely because Philly is so old and that’s how cities used to be designed (for people).

The bones of Philly as an old city are a gift that other places need to spend billions to redevelop towards. Let’s not fuck it up anymore than it’s already been.
