Building neighborhood visions as communities and design professionals work together; the Community Design Collaborative is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit that provides preliminary architectural, engineering, and planning services to nonprofit organizations.

Design professionals—volunteering their services pro bono through the Collaborative—help nonprofits communicate their goals for improving the physical and social fabric of their neighborhoods through design.

The Collaborative relies on a variety of resources to achieve its goal of assisting nonprofits in need of preliminary design services. Our programs are supported through grants from the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Housing and Community Development, The William Penn Foundation, PNC Bank Foundation, Wachovia Foundation, Claneil Foundation, Connelly Foundation, AIA Philadelphia, Citizens Bank Foundation, NEA Design Arts, The Quaker Chemical Foundation and the Union Benevolent Association.

Operational support is also provided through the generosity of individual and corporate donors. The Collaborative’s Annual Bowling Ball is a signature event, raising funds while offering a night of fun for firms, friends, and fans. In addition, the Collaborative’s volunteers donate hundreds of hours of in-kind services each year.

To learn more about the Collaborative, visit our website at www.cdesignc.org or contact us at cdesignc@cdesignc.org.

Introduction

Baltimore Avenue Community Corridor Design Study Conceptual Design for Corridor Revitalization 2009-30

The Cedar Park Neighbors Association (CPNA), in West Philadelphia, was awarded a service grant from the Community Design Collaborative (Collaborative) to make recommendations for the redevelopment of the blocks along Baltimore Avenue within the Cedar Park neighborhood boundary. The Collaborative has assisted with developing a comprehensive plan for the 4900 through 5100 blocks of Baltimore Avenue, which will restore a sense of continuity and economic vitality between two strategic pedestrian commercial corridors – the lower portion of Baltimore Avenue and 52nd Street. The neighborhood is comprised of attached and semi-detached houses and commercial buildings that were built between 1895 and 1920. The neighborhood has experienced many economic changes and some sections of the 4900 through 5100 Baltimore Avenue blocks are currently underutilized or lie vacant for both buildings and lots.

Community involvement was paramount in the design process and thus several meetings with individuals and community groups were scheduled. With the help of the Collaborative, questionnaires were developed and distributed by members of CPNA and volunteers from the Collaborative team facilitated discussions with community neighbors. After the community conversations, the Collaborative team members compiled the questionnaire results and developed recommendations. These recommendations included expanding the scope of the project to include a “Greenway” along 51st Street, connecting the Baltimore Avenue area with city parks to the north (Malcolm X) and south (Kingsessing). From these community discussions, the following “Visioning Baltimore Avenue” mission statement and goals were developed: Mission Statement: The Baltimore Avenue corridor should address the needs and improve the quality of life for the adjacent blocks and do so in a way that maintains the character of the corridor.

Goals for the Corridor: · · · · · · · · ·

Accommodate the community desires for infill projects Maintain the character and scale of the neighborhood Improve safety and comfort within pedestrian corridors Restore and improve existing storefronts and facades Connect with 52nd Street business corridor and transportation hubs at 49th and 52nd Streets Let street improvements create an identity for the corridor Address need for traffic calming at intersections Provide opportunities for community activities Engage the larger community, beyond the immediate blocks

The design team’s recommendations include the following: · Improve the streetscape by adding trees along Baltimore Avenue and Whitby (Between 51st Street and 52nd Street), adding benches, trash receptacles, bus shelters and bicycle bollards, widening the Whitby Avenue block between 51st Street and 52nd Street to accommodate angular parking, as well as increasing sidewalks with green space at the street corners and improving the sidewalk surfaces along Baltimore Avenue.

Introduction

Baltimore Avenue Community Corridor Design Study Conceptual Design for Corridor Revitalization 2009-30

(cont.) 路 路 路

Improve and refurbish existing building facades.

Construct new commercial and residential buildings.

Create/improve civic-oriented space.

In general, the recommendations are a response to the desires of the people living in the neighborhood. The focus is to upgrade the architectural and landscaped elements to improve the quality of living in this area and to give the community a greater sense of security, both physically and economically.

Baltimore Avenue Corridor Parks and the greening of the street are an important part of the revitalization of the street. The Baltimore Avenue study includes refurbishment of the streetscape with the addition of trees periodically along the corridor, consistent sidewalk material treatment, expansion of the street corner sidewalk for safer pedestrian crossing (also giving better definition to the parallel parking spaces), addition of benches and trash receptacles in selected areas, transit shelters, street signage/graphics, public art and bicycle bollards. Baltimore Avenue streetscape improvements will create a sense of identity and cohesiveness to the corridor, while maintaining a distinct and eclectic character to individual buildings. The study also recommends closing certain streets for better use of civic space (such as at the eastern edge of Cedar Park and in front of the Firehouse building at 50th Street), introducing a green median down Whitby Avenue for safer pedestrian crossing and storm water mitigation, and adding open plaza space at the confluence of Malcolm Street, 51st Street, and Baltimore Avenue.

Due to the general condition of the buildings on the corridor, recommendations have been made to upgrade facades of selected viable buildings, rebuild and fill-in building shells that are structurally sound, and construct new buildings where designated. The building types to be focused on would be residential, commercial/retail and civic-oriented facilities.

51st Street Green Corridor The 51st Street Green Corridor is suggested to connect the Baltimore Avenue Corridor with Kingsessing Park (51st & Kingsessing) to the south and Malcolm X Park (51st & Larchwood) to the north. The proposal would entail renovating an existing pedestrian bridge over the commuter rail tracks to the north of Kingsessing Park.

Zoning Overview Baltimore Avenue (between 49th Street and 52nd Street)

The area of the zoning evaluation on Baltimore Avenue is between 49th Street to the east, 52nd Street to the west and one city block to the north and the south of Baltimore Avenue. The review is based upon the City of Philadelphia Zoning Code and the International Building Code (2009). This region is a residential district with designated commercially zoned properties interspersed throughout or together to form commercial strips.

The area currently has three property types which are zoned as: · C2 (Commercial): Red in color – Buildings for sale of merchandise in retail.1 (All of the properties except as noted below.) · R5 (Residential): Light tan in color – Single Family Residential.2 (6 properties along Baltimore Avenue and the Church at the corner of 50th Street and Baltimore Avenue). · R10 (Residential): Dark tan in color – Single to Multi-Family Residential.3 (The triangular shaped prop erty bound by 52nd Street, Whitby Avenue and Baltimore Avenue; and properties along Whitby Ave between 52nd Street and Baltimore Avenue). · REC (Recreational): Dark green in color – Park without parking lot. (Cedar Park between 49th Street and 50th Street along Baltimore Avenue).

In addition to these areas, an adjacent area is zoned G2 (General Industrial)4. This is a point of information, but none of the property in the area of evaluation is zoned as such. On adjacent streets, there are blocks containing R-5, R-10 and C-2 properties; all grouped together and not being mixed.

Narrative

Façade and Streetscape Improvement Projects The purpose of the recommended façade and streetscape improvements is to make the corridor more walkable and inviting. Pedestrian-oriented streetscape improvements, such as trees, benches, bus shelters, and bumpouts are recommended throughout the length of the study area. Various façade improvements, such as awnings, signage, and see-through security grills are recommended for property/business owners.

Total Estimated Construction Cost: Potential Funding Sources:

Affordable Senior Housing (Southeast corner of 51st and Baltimore) Funded primarily through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program, this development will make available 2025 units of efficiencies and one-bedrooms to persons at least 62 years of age. Maximum housing income levels for these projects is typically 50% of the Area Median Income, or $31,000 for a family of two (2010 figures for the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area). Maximum rent levels under state guidelines are $681 for efficiency units and $729 for one-bedroom units.

In order to contribute to the street life on Baltimore Avenue and to provide retail goods and/or services, a ground floor retail pad is recommended for the corner of 51st and Baltimore.

Community Arts Center (Northeast corner of 51st and Baltimore) The Community Arts Center could be used as a creative destination in the neighborhood and become a center of activity like the Calvary Center at 48th and Baltimore Avenue. The center can be treated as a stabilizing influence in the neighborhood as it would be open for activities during longer hours. This could include amenities such as a coffee shop/restaurant, art gallery and a performance space that could include various neighborhood activities. This would also include studio rental spaces above the street level, which would provide an economic foundation for the operation of this civic-minded facility. This center could also be used as a community meeting space complementing the adjacent church spaces in the neighborhood.

The Community Arts Center could be modeled on that of ABCD Neighborhood Arts Center of South Boston or the Neighborhood House in Columbus Ohio where various arts and cultural programs occur for all ages.

Conceptual Design Proposed Design Recommendations

Baltimore Avenue Community Corridor Design Study Conceptual Design for Corridor Revitalization 2009-30

Facade Improvement Guidelines

Plants and Flowers

Place plants and flowers in front of the store as a cost effective way to improve the look of a building. If a store carries flowers for sale, they should be displayed on the sidewalk or toward the front of the store where they can be visible through the window.

Security Grilles

Use open grilles that allow pedestrians to browse after hours and keep the street more vibrant at night.

Grilles can be installed in various positions: outside a window, inside a window, or behind the window displays.

Windows

Use large windows that provide the maximum amount of visibility. Clear visibility from the street increases the shopper’s likelihood of entering an unfamiliar store. Signs and posters attached to the window should be kept to a bare minimum. The glass should be cleaned on a regular basis.
