The Triangles on Greys Ferry Gateway Project: District Representatives


The process of this Gateway Project has gotten attention in the past and also made slight progress in advancing Greys Ferry. A earlier meeting conducted on March 29th with two State Representatives Babette Josephs and Terri Paone. Both from the Council President’s Anna Verna’s office.

The area that concerns my lobbying topic is of the 2nd District run by the Council President Anna Verna. She has been in office for 9 terms. Verna was seen as a main asset to fixing Philadelphia’s financial problem. In her Anna Verna’s description on the City Councils website she seems to be more in house renovations, financial debts, and business taxes. Not so much for city street reconstruction. Then again Verna’s district consist of all of Center City, South and Southwest Philadelphia. And not to mention, again, that she is the President of City Council. There must be a lot on her to do list for her to tend to three triangles on Greys Ferry.

Of the two State Representatives, Babette Josephs was the more distinguished government official than Terri Paone. As I was browsing her site Babette looks like more of a people person.
