Reply to comment by urbantravelsPHL in FDR Park’s Southeast Asian Market will find a permanent home in southwest corner of park, city announces by urbantravelsPHL

Yeah, for elderly and disabled this is definitely not accessible.

In general, that whole area is pretty anti-pedestrian outside of the park. It’s a sea of parking lots and highway interchanges.

That’s a real shame if the actual people administering the park are encouraging driving. That’s a poor way to get a lot of people in the park, because there simply isn’t enough space, and I don’t think anybody wants the FDR loop jammed with traffic.

Not so much encouraging driving, I don't think, as just being passive and fatalistic about the majority of their visitors driving in. They could do a lot more to encourage transit use and orient the park toward people arriving by transit.
