street repair plate still there--noise nuisance Closed

2602 South Street Philadelphia, PA - City Center West

This repair started with a blown PECO transformer Jan. 31, 2013. In order to fix that, they (PECO?) had to dig underground at this location. (In the process they hit a water line and took out one of the street lamps.) The attached image is of the larger hole with its metal plate (they dug another hole opposite to fix the plumbing issue that they created). On 4-9-2013, the PHL Streets Dept. sent trucks out to re-dig after the initial "repair." They left a metal plate on one side of the street, but did refill and "resurface" (?) the section opposite. The problem is cones/warning barriers that warned of the metal plate before are now gone and the remaining plate gets driven over by cars making a loud CLUNK noise that keeps nearby residents up all night. The one barrier/sign that had been left behind has now completely disappeared and no word from the Streets Dept about when the road repair will be complete.

  It's still there, weeks later. Cars that don't regularly commute down this street hit it at high rates of speed, especially weekends -- especially in the middle of the night around 4 a.m.

  Either the hole is getting bigger or the plate is moving (or been moved). Cars still hit it, although with less frequency. My concern now is the danger of the expanding hole; what effect it may have on the initial electric repair since it is so "open" -- and whether it is causing the water-sepage in my basement. (There is a direct line between this big hole and the plumbing repair PECO did in front of my house.)
  
  If it gets much bigger, it will be a hazard for cars. It's already a size that endangers thin-wheeled vehicles, like bikes; but the bike lane is opposite, so perhaps that's not a concern.

  They filled the hole and removed the plate a couple of weeks ago, before the South Street Odunde Festival. My house still has water seeping into the front part of the basement. I am filing a complaint with PECO.

  This contractor should be catching this water before it hits the storm drain.

No left turn arrow from Broad onto Pine St. Open

Broad And Pine St Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - City Center West

The intersection at Broad and Pine St as well as South St. are both extremely busy. The absence of a left turn arrow presents the opportunity for serious accidents to occur. Drivers often have to cutoff on coming traffic flowing north while simultaneously checking for pedestrian. The addition of a left turn signal would alleviate this issue.
