Streets Department Announces Sidewalk and ADA Ramp Improvements in Logan Square Park

Philadelphia, PALocal News

The Streets Department will enhance sidewalks and ADA ramps in Logan Square Park, initiating construction on December 1, 2025, and expected to last through Spring 2026. During this period, the Logan Circle sidewalk and access to Swann Fountain will be closed, with vehicle lane closures impacting several surrounding roads. Improvements include reconstructing the 15-foot-wide outer sidewalk and upgrading eight curb ramps to comply with current ADA standards. This project is crucial for ensuring the safety and accessibility of Logan Square, especially with an expected increase in visitors for 2026 events. The Streets Department urges the public to be vigilant near work zones and to follow all detours.

Logan Square, a historic park in Center City Philadelphia, attracts thousands of visitors annually and connects several key landmarks. The project also involves upgrading existing concrete curbs to granite and reconstructing drainage inlets around the Circle. Enhancing accessibility in this iconic park reflects the city's commitment to improving public infrastructure and community safety.
