Sharswood rising: PHA’s ambitious plan to revitalize the North Philly neighborhood is winding down and paying off

More than 60 community groups across Philly and surrounding suburbs will plant trees April 11 to 14.

The Philadelphia Housing Authority has committed to rehabbing and renting the properties, but an anti-blight nonprofit could end up with them instead.

Aimed to make crossing the street safer, pedestrian "refuge islands" are being built at more than a dozen intersections along Chestnut Street in West Philly.
