What do we have now? I know the talk in some new Center City building was about one of the first indoor "public" spaces in a private building. This was just a couple weeks ago. Maybe they just add public space for a bonus?

It is also worth noting that Drexel Square is a new "public" privately owned space adjacent to 30th st station.

The tunnel reopening project was supposed to be a priority and one of the first things completed as part of Amtrak station renovations. I haven't heard an update in a while and SEPTA work continues. Last I heard was the ongoing SEPTA project "prepared" the tunnel for reopening, or at least on SEPTAs side.

40th and Chestnut will likely reopen when the new building is done in a year or two, the plans distinctly call for McDonald's to be the sole ground floor tenant, seems to have a walk up window like Shake Shack too.

The one in Walnut that burned down is still owned by McDonald's, although I've seen no progress on rebuilding.
