Urban development is a delicate balancing act, and sometimes we must say goodbye to cherished local destinations in order to make way for a plan that is ultimately more beneficial to the community and to the city at large. One of such trade-offs is slated to occur at 7619 Germantown Avenue in Mount Airy, Northwest Philadelphia, where the Trolley Car Diner is set to meet the wrecking ball, to be replaced by a six-story, mixed-use residential development designed by Morrissey Design. Although the charming chrome, neon, mural, and freestanding trolley of the diner will be missed, the proposal at hand makes for more effective use of the site, bringing significant residential density within a two0-block walk of the Mount Airy Station of the SEPTA Regional Rail and replacing the auto-centric restaurant with pedestrian-friendly retail.

A new three-family development is planned at 1822 East Huntingdon Street in East Kensington. The project is designed by 24/Seven Design Group and will be built by City Life Construction LLC, according to zoning and building permits issued for the site. The owner is listed as Kensington Joint Action C. Permits call for the construction of a three-story attached structure with a cellar, roof deck, and roof-deck access structure, to be fully sprinklered under NFPA 13R standards.
