Over grown trees, weeds, trash, Open

1825 Vineyard Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Francisville

Property is an abandoned vacant lot with dangerous over grown trees destroying adjacent residential properties. Trash and over grown weeds are attracting rodents. Trees are overhanging residential roofs and cracking adjacent concrete pads belonging to neighbors. Two of the trees will fall soon. One tree appears to be dead already. Side walk is practically impassable.

Illegal Ad Bench Open

2201-2299 Fairmount Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19130, USA - Fairmount-Spring Garden

  What's the big deal? It was done neatly and it's not an eye sore. And it's seems to be ok with the Parks and Recreation Dept., otherwise it would have been removed. I kind of like it, and I'm sure other do too. This particular "Problem" is NOT a "Problem" in my opinion and is a waste of reporting. Unless there's some law or ordnance forbidding this type of thing, then it's fine..........

  Yes, the Streets dept. is cracking down on these. Illegal ads = blight. It's in the same category as the bandit signs posted to telephone/utility poles.

  dunno. think that if there is a place for folks to sit waiting for a bus, then that is hardly bad. all ads are bad? it is not for cheetos, booze, ciggies, @#$%, etc. We seem to be fine with billboards all over the place... and it serves a PURPOSE.

  If it was against the law, then these benches would be gone. It doesn't seem to bother the city and it kind of spruces up the place. I could see if the ads were for strip clubs or booze and cigs, then I'd be a little concerned, but it's your local businesses advertising their wares. What's wrong with that??? Don't be so critical, it's better than a huge billboard in the center of the park!!!

Harassment of cyclist by an agressive driver Open

2300 Parrish - Fairmount-Spring Garden

While riding my bicycle in a light rain, I found I was being tailgated by a driver in what looked like a red, early 90's Toyota Corrolla. The started to blast his horn and yelled at me to 'Get out of the way'!. This harassment continued for two blocks before I had enough and pulled over, whereupon the driver made a left turn onto a side street.

Funeral home habitually blocking left lane of westbound Spring Garden street Open

1916 Spring Garden St Philadelphia, PA 19130, USA - Fairmount-Spring Garden

While the reason for the traffic tie-ups are individually tragic, they are a collective nuisance, particularly during rush hour.
Now, I notice these events are also wasting additional City assets - supposedly in short supply - because this morning a COP shielded the left lane for the cars of attendants for a service.
This needs to stop. If the home can't manage their events to at least avoid peak traffic hours (weekends, too) they should not be allowed to operate there.
The city needs to stop wasting police time with this.

  During rush hour, Friday 6/8, 8:40 AM; it takes 4 lights to cross that one block on Spring Garden.

Obscured Stop Sign - Regularly Ignored Open

559 N 20th St Philadelphia, PA - Fairmount-Spring Garden

There are two stop signs on either side of 20th Street at Brandywine Street. Both are obscured by trees, the one on the east side almost completely so. I walk through this intersection every day and almost daily see cars drive right through, at high speed, without stopping. This is particularly harmful when cars traveling north have just come through the traffic light at Spring Garden, and are picking up speed.

There are two day cares at this corner and many homes with young children on the neighboring blocks. This intersection is unsafe for both cars traveling west on Brandywine and pedestrians. A simple regular tree-trimming would alleviate much of the issue.

  Completely agree. A serious tree trimming is in need for clear visibility.

Storing their trash on the sidewalk Open

2002 Parrish Street Philadelphia, PA - Francisville

The people at 2002 Parrish Street continue to store their trash & recycling in front of their building. This has been going on for a while now. They also don't bag their trash so the collectors don't always take it all.
