900-1030 Walnut Ln Philadelphia, PA - RoxboroughThere is a large gap in the sidewalk on the southbound side of the street. Last fall it caused me and my daughter to crash on our bike because it was disguised by leaves (we don't normally ride on the sidewalk but we did that one day). The hole is deep enough to swallow most of a bike wheel and sent us over the handlebars. We were lucky to get away with only bruises. It had a cone placed in it shortly thereafter and I thought it was going to be repaired so I did not report it. This needs to be fixed before someone else gets hurt.

Missing stop sign ArchivedPensdale And Cresson St. Philadelphia, PA - ManayunkWorkers were doing sewer work, took down stop sign at Pensdale and Cresson, but never put it back. Now cars traveling NW on Cresson don't have a stop. Cars in the other 3 directions have a stop and expect NW traffic to stop too. Cars headed away from Main St on Pensdale have to inch out into the intersection because they are coming from under the SEPTA bridge and have a blocked view. An accident is bound to happen.

Unplowed street Archived8714-8798 Ridge Ave Philadelphia, PA 19128, USA - RoxboroughStreet should be plowed again. Street is a five-lane busy road in Andorra. Was plowed, sort of. Whoever plowed left four to six huge mountains of snow in the middle of the North/South lanes between Cathedral Rd. and Manatawna Av. Makes zero sense that this was done. Could easily cause accidents. The inner lane was not plowed at all above Manatawna all the way to the city limit!
