A new gully has formed across the Forbidden Drive, approx 75 ft Southeast of the Valley Green Inn. It approaches 8 inches deep in places, has steep sides and stretches across three-quarters of the Drive. My wife crashed her bike when her front wheel fell in this gully, breaking her helmet and bruising her legs.

Missing stop sign Archived

Pensdale And Cresson St. Philadelphia, PA - Manayunk

Workers were doing sewer work, took down stop sign at Pensdale and Cresson, but never put it back. Now cars traveling NW on Cresson don't have a stop. Cars in the other 3 directions have a stop and expect NW traffic to stop too. Cars headed away from Main St on Pensdale have to inch out into the intersection because they are coming from under the SEPTA bridge and have a blocked view. An accident is bound to happen.

Unplowed street Archived

8714-8798 Ridge Ave Philadelphia, PA 19128, USA - Roxborough

Street should be plowed again. Street is a five-lane busy road in Andorra. Was plowed, sort of. Whoever plowed left four to six huge mountains of snow in the middle of the North/South lanes between Cathedral Rd. and Manatawna Av. Makes zero sense that this was done. Could easily cause accidents. The inner lane was not plowed at all above Manatawna all the way to the city limit!
