    does a good job documenting parking + idling with eyes on the street, addresses, and photos

    What can we do to get parking enforced? Are the neighborhoods on board?

    Here are a few complaints about Spruce:

    There are always parked (not idling) cars outside of Phoebe's BBQ. I don't think there has been one rush hour that the lane hasn't been blocked there. Please be considerate and not park your car in the bike lane.
  • 12 S 30th St Philadelphia, PA 19104 - Cobbs Creek
    this is the main pickup for Bolt Bus service. The buses are there often and often idling!
  • 310 W Chelten Avenue Philadelphia, PA - Germantown

    Pulaski partners has had the sidewalk closed for weeks, forcing pedestrians out beyond the row of parked cars into the bike lane.

    There is also no clearance between the fence and septa bus parking, forcing peds into busy traffic in front of idling buses.

    I want the PPD and LI to investigate. I will forward this issue to the feds as an ADA compliance issue.

    City Council, we're fed up with your inaction. You push your pet projects but provide no oversight. DRM, what happened to abiding by your oath of office? You represent the builders and lawyers but blatantly ignore your constituents.

  • 518 S 2nd St Philadelphia, PA 19106, USA - Society Hill
    Overnight, delivery trucks are constantly idling outside of wawa. Letters to the management have been sent, with some success, but the vehicles lapse back in to the problem after some time.
  • 148 W Master St Philadelphia, PA 19122 - Fishtown
    This is a mainenance/dispatching facility for ambulances. As they wait to leave, ambulances sit parked on the street or in the facility's driveway idling. the noise and exhaust pollutes the surrounding residential neighborhood.
  • 124 Market St Philadelphia, PA 19106, USA - Old City
    SEPTA Buses (#21, 33 & 42) use this ramp to idle throughout the day and night. Residential buildings on the 100 block of Market & Church are forced to listen to the roaring engines and inhale the fumes.
  • Schuylkill River Trail - Philadelphia To Valley Forge Philadelphia, PA 19103, USA - City Center West
    At least once every week or few weeks, CSX rudely parks a dozen or so train cars that are stacked with green 'Waste Management' containers. This smells awful, fouling the air for anyone walking, biking, or enjoying the Schuykill river trail. Granted, this is not a truck idling, but if you have any qualms about whether this is offensive air pollution, go take a walk any day the train is parked their. I have tried calling CSX and Philly 311 and they can produce no answers on whether it is Mayor Nutter's policy to allow tens of thousands of pounds of trash to be parked in one of the center most points of the city. Yuck. Tell CSX to park it elsewhere. The company otherwise does a great job of partnering with the community by trying to not block the trail entry point.
  • 700-712 S 22nd St Philadelphia, PA 19146, USA - Schuylkill Southwest
