I recommend that there should be more places to take a break and eat your lunch and relax. I think this would improve the parkway because lots of people would benefit from this. One reason is because no one wants to be surrounded by a bunch of people while their eating or even just relaxing. If their are more places to go to everyone can have their own little comfort zone. I also recommend this because having a whole lot of people in one place can cause a lot of problems. One thing that can occur is if someone make a mistake and bumps against someone because it is over crowded then that person might get upset and try to do something back.

Although the Parkway is a very interesting place to go site seeing one thing I think it lacks is places to take a rest at. Some examples are benches, chairs along the side walk, even a small rest stop like they have on the turnpike. My first reason for this is the Parkway is a very long road. It travels all the way from the Philadelphia Museum of Art to City hall, and people of all ages have to take this long walk. Secondly, some people like to take the site in through art be it a poem or painting, however they have to sit in the grass because of the lack of seating. The pit stop would help because it is somewhere where people can buy souviners for family and friends, go to the bathroom and even eat. These are just a few minor suggestions.

I think to improve Parkway it should include more benches. This would benefit many people including senior citizens and younger children. Senior citizens after a while need to sit down and rest their legs because they are old. Younger children on the other hand like to complain about their feet hurting so they need to have a seat after a while also. If more benches were added to the parkway I believe it would be more appreciated. People would say “Oh lets walk down the parkway”. I would suggest walking down south street to Penns Landing before I suggest walking down the Parkway because I know I would get irritated and tired. So, I believe benches would make the Parkway better for these reasons.

There are lots of things that can be improved in the Ben Franklin Parkway, but there should be more eating establishments or resting areas for the people that are walking. When you are walking on the parkway, after you pass the T.G.I Fridays restaurant there is no where else for someone to get any kind of refreshments. By adding more eating establishments or resting places people can find their walk to be more enjoyable instead of long and stressful. Also, the Ben Franklin Parkway is a big tourist attraction area in Philadelphia so it would be good for business as well. The lack of resting places is also bad for the handicap who can’t travel long distances without pausing for a break in between, which can cause problems towards their health. There can also be some weather interferences at times. Although it may seem nice and sunny, rain can be unpredictable during the summer causing people to get wet and/or soaked because of being stuck in the rain which can also cause them to get sick.

One recommendation that I would make to improve the Benjamin Franklin parkway is to create or build an area for the younger children to play and learn about the history of the city and parkway.The monuments and the statues are interesting for the adult tourists but most young children have short attention spans and will tend to get bored and cranky easily. So, by creating a space where visitors can leave their kids and know that they are safe and educated, will be ideal for the success of the parkway.This children’s area will attract more families because parents do not have to worry about entertaining their kids all day. When they arrive for the tour they can drop the babies off at the building and then proceed with their tour and since lunch will be provided the parents will not have to pack any food for their kids. While the parents are learning, the kids will participate in a variety of activities like, crossword puzzles, coloring activities and role playing activities to help them learn about the the parkway and the city while enjoying themselves.

I think they should put more food places around the parkway. Because they only have one food place around there and it was subway and everybody doesn’t eat from there.Another reason is people that come around there can have more places to choose from instead of one, because the people that are there don’t always want to eat from the same place.

One thing I think can make the park better is building playgrounds so there can be something there for the kids to do, including basketball courts. Also, there should be bike lanes in the street because there is not enough space for people and bikes on the sidewalk. There should also be benches next to the sidewalk plus a place for the homeless to chill at, because there are a lot of homeless people walking around that need somewhere to chill.
