The Philadelphia City Planning Commission is seeking residents’ feedback on the draft West District Plan. The draft plan was released in December 2017 after a series of public meetings and presentations and includes recommendations on economic development, land use & zoning, housing, urban design, parks & rec, open space, and other important aspects of urban planning and development in West Philadelphia. The West District plan is one of the 18 district plans created as part of Philadelphia2035, a comprehensive guide for physical development of the city for the next 25 years and beyond. 

The West District Plan (see map) covers 4.67 square miles and the following neighborhoods: Cedar Park, Garden Court, Mantua, Haddington, Cobbs Creek, Carroll Park, Belmont, Overbrook, Mill Creek, Dunlap, Morris Park, and Wynnefield.
