At a Finance Committee meeting this morning, the Delaware River Port Authority approved $350,000 to design a bicycle and pedestrian-friendly ramp for the Camden end (south side) of the Ben Franklin Bridge. The ramp will replace an existing three-story set of stairs.

The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia and the Tri-State Alliance have been lobbying DRPA to build this ramp for some time. The Bicycle Coalition's blog has more information about the decision and the lobbying efforts that led to it.
