Best Answer

The street plan of Philadelphia is special because of how it was laid out. The streets were planned by William Penn who wanted each house to have enough room for a garden. Each lot is either a half acre or an acre and the streets are very broad.

What was special about the street plan of Philadelphia?

William Penn's city plan was radical for its time, but is common design today in all cities. His plan for a green area that would surround the city, became the outline of the modern suburb.
