Greenways

[edit]

Society Hill contains "historic pathways" that connect the residential neighborhood with historic area to the north.[1] These "Greenways" as they are know today, are designed to allow pedestrians to get from place to place without having to interact with cars. [1] The landscaped Greenways were conceived by Edmund Bacon, who hired John Collins of Adleman, Collins & DuTot to design small-scale greenway parks and pedestrian connections woven between the buildings.[2] Mid-block walking pathways along St. Joseph’s Way, St. Peter’s Way, and Lawrence Court Walk[3] connect community places including St. Peter's, Old Pine, Three Bears Park, and Bingham Court. [4] The Greenways feature public art and are designed to create a neighborhood that is walkable, rather than a disjointed collection of historic buildings.
