Idling Philadelphia Trolley Works trolley Open

6900 Block Cliff Rc.l - Roxborough

Trolley has been parked on quiet residential street Cliff Road (19128) with its motor running for the past 30 or more minutes. I spoke to the young woman driving the bus and she said that if she turned the motor off that it might not start up again. I told her that that didn't speak very well for her company

Concrete barricade blocking bike path Open

Schuylkill River Trail - Philadelphia To Valley Forge Philadelphia, PA 19127, USA - Roxborough

Please fix this. It is very dangerous.

Some Cretans removed the pole last year, and Fairmount park folks quickly replaced the hole with the block to prevent the access to cars. It would be nice to have the pole back in place, but I'm afraid that those bent on gaining vehicular access would just break the lock that holds the pole in place again.

04/25/2013 Here’s another pic of this dangerous bureaucratic/design blunder. The dangers include two near ninety degree un-marked turns for cyclists through a narrow gap, on cobble stones with a manhole cover thrown into the mix. Even the posts are painted gray instead of yellow for better visibility.

Better yet, the photo shows the previously mentioned existing hole for a removable bollard that would solve most of the problem. So would it be possible to remove the concrete barrier, use a removable bollard with a stronger lock, add some signage, and paint the poles bright yellow?

This is a textbook example of poor design and execution along with a total lack of common sense – your tax dollars at work (assuming you pay taxes).

Umbria Street bike lanes covered with gravel at Parker Ave. Open

5000 Umbria Street Philadelphia, PA - Roxborough

Gravel covers the bike lanes in both directions on Umbria at Parker Avenue. It looks like it came from construction at the Umbria Village development.
There is also damage to Umbria Street due to utility work at the intersection with Parker Avenue. Many east-bound drivers are veering into the west-bound lane to avoid the bumps.

04/04/2013 The bumps have been kind of patched. But the gravel remains on the bike lanes and roadside. Guess that fixing one out of two is pretty impressive for Philly.

04/13/2013 So now construction machinery is parked on Umbria with traffic cones blocking the east-bound bike lane. The bike lanes are still covered with gravel. Typical Philly.

Umbria Street bike lane covered with mud Open

5288 Umbria St Philadelphia, PA - Roxborough

The bike lanes on Umbria Street, across from the golf center, are covered with mud. The problem is caused by poor drainage on the far side. A volunteer from the Bike Coalition cleaned up the worst of it.
This is a recurring problem -

03/02/2013 Here's a "before" picture. Note how debris and vegetation covers the outer white line of the bike line.

03/02/2013 Here's the "after" picture. A long section of the bike lane has been uncovered by a volunteer. No thanks to the city. Unfortunately, much of this section of the bike lane remains covered up, but given the number of motor vehicles that speed on Umbria, it's a dangerous job to uncover it. Could the city consider some traffic calming and fix the dangerous intersection of Umbria and Shawmont Avenues?

03/02/2013 Six old tires had been dumped along Umbria. They were moved to a stack along the bike lane to help the Streets Department locate the bike lane problem. Unbelievably the tires were gone in a few days!

03/31/2013 Here's a picture of the clogged drain that possibly causes the flooding. Now maybe the Street Department can find it and clean things up.

Leverington isn't safe to walk on at night Open

Leverington And Silverwood Philadelphia, PA - Roxborough

Construction has been happening for awhile now on Leverington and Silverwood St. I can deal with this fact as well as the fact the construction crews put barricades up taking away precious parking in Manayunk. However, when I am "lucky" enough to park in that area on Leverington and walk towards Silverwood, there is no place for me to go. The sidewalk has been destroyed, hence the barricades on the other side. Those barricades were supposed to provide a walkway. It probably would have worked if the construction crews didn't store gigantic pipes there that you can't get around without walking in the road. There are signs on the actual barricades stating this was supposed to last until 1/21. It's now 1/29. Can someone look into this before someone gets hurt walking on Leverington?

Debris on Schuylkill River Trail, near Shawmont Open

Schuylkill River Trail - Philadelphia To Valley Forge Philadelphia, PA - Roxborough

01/09/2013 Fencing and a large gate have been dumped along the Schuylkill River bike trail, just east of the Philly/Montgomery County border.

It looks like it came from vandalism at the workyard at Port Royal Avenue and the SRT (near Nixon and River Road).

Also, the drainage ditch alongside the SRT needs to be cleaned out.

Impassable Sidewalk Open

Overgrowth of weeds, poor condition of sidewalk forces pedestrians to walk out in street. It's been this way for a long time. It's dangerous!

Weeds cut, by City, I believe, but they'll grow back. Nothing done about the condition of the sidewalk itself.

It's now been 5 months since L&I "updated" the status of this hazard, and NOTHING has been done about the broken up, uneven, unsafe, slate sidewalk. I saw it just this morning.
