Philadelphia Water Commissioner Howard Neukrug and School District of Philadelphia Superintendent William Hite joined Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Chief of Staff Patrick Morgan for the release of PWD’s Transforming Philadelphia’s Schoolyards, a new 44-page design guide made with the help of the Community Design Collaborative that acts as a toolkit for schools and communities working to enhance schools with green stormwater infrastructure.
A sold-out crowd came to the Center for Architecture in Center City on May to pick up a copy of the guide and hear firsthand stories of successful school greening projects from Lea Elementry’s Julie Scott, Cook-Wissahickon Elementary’s Jeane Ortiz, and Greenfield Elementary’s Lisa Armstrong.
The forum was moderated by Mami Hara, Chief of Staff at Philadelphia Water.

Residents and visitors taking advantage of 10 miles of open streets stopped at the fishway, also called a fish ladder, to learn about the river and the Green City, Clean Waters program.
