Start of a new sink-hole? Open

415 South St Philadelphia, PA - Queen Village

There's a hole in the pavement of South Street, just about where it meets Leithgow. It's about 2-3 feet from the sidewalk on the north side, and about 5 inches in diameter -- looking in, it's pretty deep and caved-in looking, as though it had been caused by run-off erosion. I think somebody better check it out before it becomes a big cave-in or something...

Overfilled street cut Archived

336 Pemberton St Philadelphia, PA - Queen Village

The entity that is renovating 729 S 4th has dug a hole in Pemberton St. and over filled it with a concrete and rock top.

Pemberton is not wide enough to drive "wide" and run tires over the patch. The piling is not compressing, most cars bottom out on the rocks and concrete scraping their undercarriages.

deep utility pothole Archived

273 Bainbridge St Philadelphia, PA 19147 - Queen Village

a utility (not sure which one) dug a trench through the traffic lane of the street, and only filled it with loose fill when they were finished, which keeps getting compacted. The hole is very deep, and extends between the parked cars on either side of the street, so it is unavoidable.

bee-infested playground Archived

500 512 S 6th St Philadelphia, PA 19147, USA - Queen Village

There are a lot of really huge bumblebees hovering in the eastern section of the Starr Park playground. I don't see them foraging or going to and fro, but I'd guess there were 30-50 there yesterday, and they definitely interfered with the ability (or willingness) of kids to play in that whole section of the playground. [I think they might have been around last year too.] Somebody needs to find the hive and move or eliminate it before some kid gets stung and has a fatal reaction.

  well, I can only say that they were hovering/swirling about 2-3 feet off the ground, showing little or no interest in the trees overhead. maybe all that flower pollen has them drunk and confused... will check back in a couple of weeks.

  If, as you say, they are bumble bees, there's nothing to worry about. Bumble bees don't sting.

  don't know why you'd say that, Cruz -- they can even sting more than once!

Dangerous open manhole Acknowledged

517 Carpenter Street Philadelphia, PA - Queen Village

This manhole is STILL OPEN 4 months after it was removed by either PWD or PGW. It is currently covered with some flimsy, rotting pieces of particle board and just waiting for a child to fall in it. The City and it's utility companies have allowed this manhole to remain open 1/2 a block from an elementary school for over 4 months.

Dangerously quick left-turn signal Acknowledged

S Columbus Blvd And Christian Street Philadelphia, PA - Queen Village

The traffic light on northbound Columbus Boulevard at Christian Street has a dangerously quick signal for left turns. Rarely do more than four cars get through it before it turns red.

Cars must dash through the very short left-turn lane, swing the wheel to the left and drive over wicked bumps and potholes.

Something must be done about the road (already reported) and about the signal timing. This is an accident waiting to happen. A simple tweak to, say, 15 seconds might save a life.

  This problem has continued without attention by the city. There are buckled, cracking bumps and wide potholes along Christian Street from Columbus Boulevard to Front Street.
  
  This is a heavily traveled entrance to the neighborhoods just south of Center City. The city's disregard of citizens' complaints is telling.

  The city hasn't touched this stretch of wide potholes and buckling, cracked bumps. It stretches along Christian Street from Columbus Boulevard to Front Street.
  
  Honestly, what does it take to get this city to repair a major entrance to the neighborhoods just south of Center City? This is a basic role of city government.
