Riverfront planning event gets going

More than 1,400 people have registered to attend tonight's event, which will showcase "A civic vision for the Central Delaware." The presentation is designed to bring together the work of the Central Delaware Advisory Group, PennPraxis and others as they look toward the future development of the Delaware Waterfront.

Space is filling up quickly, and people, with caffeine and soft pretzels in hand, are already heading into the second conference room.

Throughout this evening, we'll be posting impressions and thoughts from the PlanPhilly reporters covering the event. They include Alan Jaffe, Matt Blanchard, Kellie Patrick Gates, John Davidson, Natalie Pompilio and Steve Ujifusa.

Let's get started.
