The borders for the Eruv are as follows:

West: Beginning on the south-east corner of 43rd St. and Woodland Avenue, moving straight up the east side of 43rd St., all the way to the south-east corner of 43rd St. and Powelton Avenue

North (and North-East): The south side of Powelton St., in between 43rd and 32nd streets, and the SEPTA property between 32nd and 31st streets, which is behind the north side of J.F.K. Blvd.

East: Beginning at the back of the parking lot across from 30th St. Station, and north of J.F.K. Blvd., the border picks up with the SEPTA train tracks (what would be 31st St.), and follows them all the way to the south side of Spruce/South St., where it then shifts to the fence which encloses SEPTA's University City Station.

South (and South-East): Beginning at the railroad tracks that go over Spruce/South St. (these railroad tracks are the would be 31st St.), moving south along Convention Avenue and the fence that separates the SEPTA tracks from the road behind the Philadelphia Civic Center, the Hospital Construction Site, and Pennsylvania Hall. This border continues along the fence separating this area and the SEPTA tracks, going over University Avenue/32nd St., behind the Veterinary Hospital (on the west side of University Avenue/32nd St.). The Eruv includes the Veterinary Hospital, but excludes the Woodlands Cemetery. The Eruv border picks up right outside of the cemetery, on the south side of Woodland Avenue, along the cemetery's fence until 42nd St., following 42nd St. south until it merges with 43rd St. and continuing along the back of the USP campus (including the current construction site on the west side of 43rd St.), up until the south-east corner of 43rd and Woodland.
