100 LED 'Information Kiosks' on Their Way to Philadelphia Sidewalks
Jonathan Takiff reports that the Philadelphia Art Commission recently gave initial approval to a proposal that would add "[s]leek, TV-enhanced information kiosks" on city sidewalks.
The company Intersection is moving forward with installation of LED screens at select subway stations while the larger proposal to install LinkPHL-branded sidewalk kiosks around Center City and Universal City is raking up approvals.
The "multi-screen sidewalk kiosks [were] 'conceptually approved' this month by the Philadelphia Art Commission and endorsed by the mayor and the city’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems," according to Takiff. The Philadelphia Art Commission is expected to cast a final vote on November 1.
