City Vehicles Idling Open

2614-2698 S 19th St Philadelphia, PA 19145, USA - Girard Estates

Several days a week, always on Tuesdays, early morning till mid-afternoon, year round, several city 'trash and recycle trucks' gather here and idle anywhere from 20-90 minutes. Complaints to the Dept. of Streets have proven useless.

  They do the same thing at 1400 Bigler. I'm assuming its a meeting point and they depart for different blocks from there.

  As of today, 6/8/11, the problem still continues. Yesterday, Tuesday the 7th., I was headed out and counted seven trash/recycle trucks parked (and idling) on the 2600 block of 19th. Street. If I were not pressed for time, I would have taken pictures. I will however make it a point to take pictures in the near future. This is just plain crazy...our tax dollars be wasted, while the city is laying off teachers.

Idling Vehicle - Every Night Acknowledged

2322 S. Rosewood St. Philadelphia, PA 19145 - Girard Estates

Every night between 8pm and 9:30pm for the past 4 months an ice cream truck sits outside of our house for a while each night. No one is buying ice cream this time of year, I think the vendor is just talking to friends.
We tried to endure through the summer, but I don't think it's ever going to stop. The exhaust smells terrible and the motor is extremely loud.
Please help us!

  Hi! Thanks for reporting.
  It sounds like a really frustrating situation. It seems that an important first step in addressing it may be talking to the driver and letting him/her know how the exhaust is affecting you. If you email us at IdleFreePhilly@cleanair.org, I would be happy to send you fact sheets with information about the health effects of idling and about the anti-idling laws we have in Philadelphia. And certainly, if talking doesn't lead to a helpful solution, we can explore further possible steps.
