I worked in Center City Philadelphia for over 30 years. I used I-95 to get to work. Between I-95 and Delaware Aves., during rush hours, the city will NEVER handle the extra traffic provided by the proposed locations of the two slot casino's. Adding new ramps from I-95 directly into the parking areas of these two casino's will do absolutely nothing, if the traffic is at a standstill on I-95. I can see people coming into the city to enjoy a day of gambling, getting stuck in traffic for a couple of hours, and never returning. The City of Philadelphia will never accomodate the extra traffic these proposed casinos will bring, as they can't handle the normal traffic at rush hour now.
