HOMETOWN HEROES: The Center City District has been supporting Philadelphia for the last 35 years. And there for just as long, were Sherron, Ed, and Tom.
They’ve been keeping the sidewalks clean since the very beginning in 1991.
Allow us to reintroduce ourselves!
🚨 Safety: CCD has an on-street team including Community Service Representatives (CSRs), bicycle safety patrol and homeless outreach.
🫧 Clean: CCD deploys more than 100 uniformed workers who manually and mechanically clean sidewalks across #CenterCity.
🌳 Parks: CCD manages and activates Dilworth Park, Sister Cities Park, Cret Park and John F. Collins Park.
🚶 Open Streets: CCD has pedestrianized West Walnut Street and Midtown Village on various Sundays.
🛍️ Retail Promotions: CCD supports local businesses through promotions like Restaurant Week, SIPS, and more!
🌷 Streetscapes: CCD advocates for and reimagines the public realm through horticulture, capital investments and more.
The countdown to Sips season is on! 🎉

We are excited to host a commemorative statue honoring Forrest Fezler, who is depicted wearing the new @adidasgolf Ultimate365+ Shorts. Fezler broke traditional norms in 1983 by competing in shorts during the U.S. Open. The statue will be on display until May 17, celebrating this defining moment in the sport.
