Notified About

  • 154-198 N 5th St Philadelphia, PA 19106, USA - Old City
    There is quite a bit of debris in the 5th street underpass bike lane. It is in dire need of a street sweeping.
  • 300-398 S Watts St Philadelphia, PA 19107, USA - City Center East
    This is an alley full of private parking garages. The No Parking sign is missing - people park on the sidewalks/half on the street and the PPA will not ticket the cars or call police to remove unless the sign is there.

    1224 Arch St Philadelphia, PA 19107, USA - City Center East
    needs removal.
  • 4th And Callowhill Philadelphia, PA - Northern Liberties

    Car going straight on Callowhill street in far left lane collide with car in second from the left lane making a left on 4th from Callowhill.
    Sending the turning car in to the brick wall. It's only a matter of time before pedestrians are killed on that corner.

    This morning it happened again, this time it involved a police cruiser.

    As simple fix: as cars approach the 4th street intersection: bolder lane lines.
    Lastly an arrow (NO TURNS) is needed in the second to the left hand lane.

    (the same problem has caused numerous accidents at 4th and Arch) same solution is needed.)

  • 250-298 South Juniper Street Philadelphia, PA - City Center East

    Not only do these surly contractors holler in an uneducated manner to one another at ungodly hours; they are erecting an environmentally unsound structure blotting out the sun at the Burlington House.

    Most recently, a piece of equipment is implemented with sounds akin to 100 circular saws being descended upon 100 kittens in a dumpster.

    End this madness now.

    Bike lanes, not parking garages.

  • 700-728 Spring Garden St Philadelphia, PA 19123, USA - Poplar-Ludlow-Yorktowne
    There are several food trucks which service the traffic court on Spring Garden Street that block the bike land on the westbound side of Spring Garden Street. None of the trucks are attended in the morning when I commute.
  • Harassment Archived
    7th St & Pine St Philadelphia, PA 19106, USA - Society Hill
    I pulled around a guy who cut me off in the bike lane. I told him to be more careful, or he would end up hurting someone. He peeled out and sped up to pass me, pulled into the bike lane, and slammed on his brakes. I made it around him, but he tried to clip me with his door as I passed. He then followed me another blocking, weaving into the bike lane with his passenger side window rolled down screaming obscenities at me. He then pulled in front of me again, calling me a @#$% @#$% and telling me called the cops as I passed. I pedaled to get away from the guy, or I would have gotten his picture. This is the craziest thing that has ever happened to me while biking. All for telling this guy to be more careful. He was driving a late model Gold colored Acura or Lexus.
