    Indego bikes are coming to Germantown

    Indego plans to install nine bike-share stations in Germantown by late 2026, creating new links between neighborhood destinations, regional rail stops, and commercial corridors. Residents and local leaders say the expansion could improve mobility, support businesses, and make the neighborhood feel more connected.

    PHA seeks $84 million rehabbing of longtime blighted Germantown Settlement properties

    After years of vacancy and uncertainty tied to the collapse of Germantown Settlement, the Philadelphia Housing Authority says it’s aiming to redevelop dozens of scattered East Germantown (and a few East Mt. Airy) properties into 121 affordable rental units. At a packed meeting at Lonnie Young Rec Center, hosted by Councilmember Cindy Bass, PHA leaders walked neighbors through the $84M plan, funding timeline, and what community members want addressed. Amongst things noting are safety, accountability, and maintenance at specific sites.
