CCRA Moved to a New OfficeIn January CCRA move to Wework at the new Brandywine Building on 1900 Market, which brings us closer to our members. The space has suited our needs and members who've visited the office love the layout and amenities.CCRA Committees The Remapping CommitteeThe Committee was busy preserving locations preserving the existing mix of historic and eclectic buildings on Chestnut, Sansom and Walnut Streets from 15th to 19th Streets and the 1500 block of Locust Street by reducing the skyplane, downzoning and other measures. A historic building designation task force was born out of this work; the task force has already nominated one building for the historic register. Historic Preservation CommitteeThe Committee met with City planning staff to figures out ways to merge Citizen Planner efforts and the Task Force. The Committee also participated with Penn Praxis in the development and review of the Preservation Tool Kit. And, the committee disseminated information about historic preservation to 1) keep people abreast of situations (e.g. Task Force updates), 2) increase their knowledge (articles about houses & their history, about preservation concepts such as infill, etc.), 3) recruit new members, and 4) make CCRA membership aware of this committee as a resource for them.Streets CommitteeThe Streets Committee worked with oTIS on several issues of neighborhood concern, including bike lanes on Market, JFK, Lombard, South, 22nd , Spruce and Pine Streets, the Chestnut Street Loading Pilot Project, and big belly issues.Membership CommitteeThe Committee has been working to change the membership program in order to "get the word out" about CCRA to increase our membership numbers. They've done this by, participating in various events, marketing to our ever-changing demographic, and adding membership benefit packages.Community MeetingsCCRA hosted two community meetings. On December 2, we have a community meeting regarding the safety of Rittenhouse Square and the neighborhood. Over 200 attendees came to hear representatives from the 9th District Police. From this, CCRA is developing a task force which will have our first meeting to brainstorm ideas in January. And back in March, we hosted an education forum on programs related to Property Tax Relief/Deferral and the City's Water and Sewer Line Insurance.
