Daily News | Foot traffic near Philly offices more than doubled since January. Here are other takeaways from a new report on Center City.
“There is a widespread misconception that downtown retail is in bad shape,” said Prema Katari Gupta, a vice president for Center City District, which is funded by local businesses in Philadelphia’s downtown.
That’s an increase of 82% from the start of the year, the district said, from a daily average of 87,133 pedestrians in January to 158,426 in October. The highest activity was recorded on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, the days that hybrid workers at large employers —, which as of September required employees to work in person three days a week — are most likely to be in the office.
