The Philadelphia Water Department has been promising green infrastructure improvements for this stretch of the street for about a year now. According to last December's letter from the PWD, "The Water Department will be making green infrastructure improvements and installing storm water management measures in the streets listed below: Moyamensing Avenue from Morris to Tasker, Tasker Street from Moyamensing Avenue to 4th Street." Our friends over at Passyunk Post report today that the new sidewalk at Moyamensing Ave. and Morris is "actually a new storm water trench and bump out designed to prevent excess runoff and pollution from entering into our rivers."
