Schuylkill River Development Corporation has unveiled the conceptual design of the boardwalk it plans to build between Locust Street and the South Street Bridge.  The slide show presented on November 17th is available here (3.2 MB pdf)

The boardwalk will be 50 feet out in the river to avoid the tree canopies that are along the embankment.  It will connect to the South Street Bridge ramp (north side of bridge) and also connect to the river bank just south of a set of stairs being built from the Bridge on the south side of bridge.

The boardwalk will be a concrete surface, 15 feet wide and 4-9 feet high from the water (depending on the tide).   

SRDC has $4 million of the $10 million construction cost identified and needs $6 million to complete the entire project.
