3 VIA philadelphia vegetation The above map is a close approximation of tree canopy cover surrounding VIA philadelphia. It shows that, while there is good tree cover within Fairmount Park and surrounding neighborhoods, canopy is thin or nonexistent towards the 9th Street Branch of the Reading Viaduct. In fact, the raised rail corridor east of Broad Street contains the majority of trees in the neighborhoods immediately adjacent to it. This presents a valuable opportunity for the City of Philadelphia. If turned into a park, VIA philadelphia will greatly help restore urban tree canopy, creating a green oasis within the Callowhill, North Chinatown, and Poplar neighborhoods and acting as a starting point from which to spread the urban canopy into each neighborhood through initiatives such as TreeVitalize, Tree Philly, and Pennsylvania Horticultural Society s Plant One Million campaign. Doing so will help to accomplish three target objectives outlined in Greenworks Philadelphia, Mayor Michael Nutter s ambitious sustainability plan to make Philadelphia the greenest city in America. VIA philadelphia has the power to bring Philadelphia one step closer to that goal. 1
4 inventory A Brave New Ecology The urban environment is already awash in plant life if one opens their eyes to a new way of seeing. -future green studio Spontaneously propagating, self-pollinating, tough urban plants inhabit our most derelict landscapes - along roadsides and chain-link fences, between cracks of pavement, and within vacant lots, rubble dumps, and highway medians. Remarkably these plants require no human assistance to assert and sustain themselves in these punishing, often volatile urban environments, while providing the same ecologically performative benefits of traditional landscape plants and street trees. vigorous growth self pollinating first to appear in spring tolerates low soil nutrients tolerates severe drought seeds attractive to wildlife advantageous seed germination first to colonize disturbed soils tolerates compacted / contaminated soil 2

6 inventory opportunistic meadow Characterized by aggressive and/or invasive species that can survive in areas of very limited soil medium and extreme temperature fluctuations. Found throughout viaduct corridor in the cracks of sidewalks, mortar joints, neglected properties, vacant lots, and within railroad rights-of-way. Princess Tree Common Goldenrod Green Foxtail Narrowleaf Sweet Autumn groundsel Plantain Clematis paulowniablack locust forest Canopy species mainly invasive, edge-habitat trees, with minimal, mostly invasive shrub cover. Invasive vines prevalent. Contains many fruit-bearing species attractive to birds and mammals. Ground cover minimal, comprised of non-native herbaceous species. Princess Tree Pin Oak Black Locust Autumn Olive Wineberry Hairy Bittercress 2

8 inventory no vegetation Low-light conditions unsuitable for supporting significant plant life. Moisture seeping from walls near steam vents may support mosses and/or lichens. 2
9 VIA philadelphia vegetation // zone ft. N The notion that every city has a native flora that can be restored is an idea with little credibility in light of the facts that (3) most urban habitats are strictly human creations with no natural analogs and no indigenous flora. -Paul de Tredici 1
10 inventory Paulownia forest Dominated by Paulownia, occasional occurrences of native but aggressive Catalpa. Characterized by advantageous trees; thorny, fruit-bearing shrubs; and a high occurrence of native and exotic vines. All species can tolerate soil compaction, salt spray, exposed slopes, and rock cuts. meadow Princess Tree Catalpa Tree of Heaven Multiflora Rose Wineberry Virginia Creeper Extremely limited biodiversity take advantage of exposed edge conditions. Aggressive species are early successional types that take advantage of disturbed soil conditions, vacant lots, and salt spray and can survive in places of very little soil such as masonry joints. forest Common Reed Goldenrod Japanese Honeysuckle Narrowleaf Plantain Virginia Pepperweed Common Groundsel Similar to Paulownia and Paulownia-Robinia forests. Typified by English Ivy groundcover and vine dominance that smothers the understory and is found only in the Overstructure section. Ivy can survive on masonry structures, damaging buildings and strangling trees. catapla meadow Catalpa Black locust Princess tree Oriental Bittersweet English ivy Cutleaf Blackberry Community found on old railroad bridge between 16th and 17th Streets, an area of limited soil substrate. No occurrences of tree or shrub species. Characterized by balance of aggressive, early-successional grasses and flowering perennials. Common Mullein Goldenrod Japanese Knotweed Green Foxtail White Panicle Aster Common Groundsel 2
11 VIA philadelphia vegetation // zone ft. N The notion that every city has a native flora that can be restored is an idea with little credibility in light of the facts that (4)...the idea that this vegetation can somehow be restored to the site is both ecologically and evolutionarily impossible. -Paul de Tredici 1
12 inventory meadow Dominated by native, flowering perennials. Thrives in exposed, sunny areas of limited substrate. Found on Viaduct s railroad bridge edges. Occasional Buddleia specimens found throughout community. grasslands Bittersweet Nightshade Butterfly Bush Green Foxtail Goldenrod White Panicle Aster White Snakeroot Dominated by warm season grasses, and punctuated by tall, flowering perennials. Early successional species thrive in poor, shallow substrates directly within existing railroad tracks. Little Bluestem Bluegrass Green Foxtail Goldenrod White Snakeroot Common Milkweed old field Found in fill areas of viaduct with deeper soil substrate. Defined as a meadow undergoing succession by tree and shrub species. Demonstrates a balance of native and exotic species. Princess Tree Catalpa Butterfly Bush Common Milkweed Chinese Silvergrass Bluegrass 2
13 VIA philadelphia wildlife // all zones The Urban wildlife of VIA philadelphia shows a surprising amount of diversity. In addition to familiar city denizens like pigeons, rats, common opossum, and European starlings, birds and mammals ordinarily limited to more rural environments can be seen near or on VIA philadelphia Creatures take advantage of the plant communities along VIA philadelphia for shelter, forage, and prey items. Several migrating bird species may use VIA philadelphia vegetative cover as a resting point on their journey. 1
