'Not too late' for river plan
Mayor creates group with community reps to oversee development
By MARK McDONALD
Sure, the high-rise condos along the Delaware River are either being built or are well along in development, and two giant casinos are vying to locate at water's edge.  But Mayor Street, who touted river development as one of the city's critical needs almost three years ago, says that despite the hot real estate market along the Delaware River, it's never too late to develop a master plan for the waterfront between Allegheny and Oregon avenues.
"We don't think the horse is out of the barn," Street said yesterday before signing an executive order creating the Central Delaware Advisory Group, a body heavily laden with community and business organizations.
