    Rittenhouse St And Wissahickon Ave Philadelphia, PA - Germantown

    The entire area is covered in car parts following Sunday's accident. I'd like to believe this would get cleaned up by the city, but that type of thing doesn't happen in this area without some prodding.

    Please remove the car parts from the northeast corner, the northwest corner, and the roadway.

    Please repair the fire hydrant.

  • Traffic
    Lincoln Drive And Rittenhouse Philadelphia, PA 19140, USA - East Falls

    The traffic detour at ridge and lincoln is causing safety problems upstream at the intersection of Lincoln drive and Rittenhouse.

    Drivers traveling on southbound lincoln drive south of wissahickon are making illegal left hand turns onto rittenhouse when they sense traffic is backing up. This is a hazard to motorists travelling northbound on lincoln drive. Expect head on collisions (saw a very close near miss today).

    Please enforce traffic laws here.

    Thanks.

  • Heat
    1843 W.Juniata Street Philadelphia, PA - Tioga-Nicetown

    It's been several years now since I was told that I was eligible to recieve a new heater from the city since my heater was broken. I was told on the day of installation that the fellow who was coming to install the heater was in a car accident. Now I am being told that I have to start the process all over again. Meanwhile, I am a senior citizen having to bump from pillar to post because I bearly have any heat at all. My heater leaks water and sometimes shuts down completely. I hate having to burden my children down with this. Can someone please help me.

    Driver passed me on Wissahickon Ave then waited at School House Lane until I caught up to him. The light at School House Lane was green for some time while the driver stopped and waited for me. When I passed him at the light, he then came up behind me and hit me from the rear damaging my bike.
