having a mixed use development. There would be apartments and some single family townhomes and a grocery store, and some amenities there, as well as pathways. Our green space is important to us, and we want that integrated into every development.” This potential neighborhood is near the recently renovated Drexeline Town Center, now boasting a new ShopRite Supermarket, and a variety of services and restaurants.A pediatric services hub operated by the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania, as well as the Delaware County Department of Human Services offices will also be located in the area. “That’s going to create an ecosystem of providers for pediatric services,” LaRue says. “Typically you’ll see dentists and specialty doctors come in. So we’re really excited about that.” Another important corridor is Garrett Road and Lansdowne Avenue, close to where the new Delaware County Community College campus will be situated. This area is home to a YMCA, a bank, and Barclay Square Shopping Center, where a new arts center, SPARC, run by the Upper Darby Arts & Education Foundation will be established. A new Upper Darby Community Center is also planned for the area. 154 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 08
