Descrição

I work right next to here, and there is not a single day that passes that this bike lane is not blocked by an illegally parked vehicle. I know this because I have been photographically documenting it for over a year now. I was sent to the hospital after nearly being killed by an individual who was illegally parked here two years ago. Even the UPenn Police sign that occasionally graces this area, reminding drivers they cannot park in the bike lane, is blatantly ignored. There is absolutely no enforcement of traffic laws in this area, and the liability to the City and University has become enormous. Especially because of documented evidence showing that law enforcement from both entities do not enforce the law. This is extremely dangerous, and needs to be fixed before something more tragic than my accident happens. No one's life should be put at risk because an inconsiderate person wants to illegally park to run in and buy coffee at Wawa. And no one's life should be at risk because the people we trust to protect us refuse to enforce the law.
