Transformation Plan Neighborhood
The goal of the Neighborhood Plan will be to re-establish the Sharswood/Blumberg community into a network of safe, well-functioning neighborhoods across Lower North Philadelphia and the region with access to high quality public schools, services, public assets, transportation, and improved access to jobs.
What are some issues, or areas for improvement in your neighborhood?

Streets are dirty. Too much trash, too many abandoned buildings
Crime
Lack of opportunities for education - closed schools, job training
Need markets & store
Libraries need to be accessible at least 6 days/week
Not an area where there are goods & services available
No Mom and Pop stores
Better Markets to shop for food, we have no real supermarkets
Drivers need to be more observant and courteous to seniors and handicap
Better transportation (access to areas outside of neighborhood)

Job training and actual job placement. Real jobs after the training.
Old infrastructure
