Making the Ben Franklin Bridge Safer for Biking and Walking

Since early January 2012, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia and Tri-State Transportation Campaign has organized the submission of 15 letters from area organizations (including Campbell Soup and AARP New Jersey) and letters from Senators Lautenberg and Menendez, Rutgers-Camden and Pennsylvania Center for Adapted Sports and the comments from over 1000 petition signers asking that DRPA restore funding for the ramp in its 2012 Capital Program. 

On February 1st, DRPA designated $350,000 to design the ramp, and committed to building it. More information is available on our blog. Thank you to everyone who signed the petition, made phone calls, and attended meetings to support the ramp's construction!
