Comment Re:Philadelphia is a grid pattern with wide street (Score 1) 35
There are some narrow/one-way streets in a few parts of the grid, mainly in the older parts of town toward the Delaware side, and a couple of oddities with active trolley tracks, but mostly it's a rationally laid out place where they took care to make surface transportation as painless as possible.
Suburbs are mostly a grid too.
Philadelphia is Northeast cities on easy mode.
Boston roads on the other hand...third world at best.
Boston on July 4: "You can't get there from here." When they shut down Storrow Dr., all those one-way streets become the tenth circle of hell.
