The City of Philadelphia is expediting reversing the street direction of the 600 block of South LeCount Street. This may save lives. Immediate action is possible!

Thanks to our tech lead Ee & other PBA volunteers and average Philadelphians doing their part, we’ve already completely changed the level and quality of data that the PPA is receiving on dangerously parked vehicles. whyy.org/articles/new...

We're working on getting it added to the Apple & Android app stores, but until that happens there's unfortunately no way to pull from photos taken outside the application.

We're using their smartsheet, but from the user's end it's all handled through our web app, which I think you'll find is a much faster way to do it!

We are calling on City Council, our State Reps and Senators, and the Parker Administration to ensure crucial safety projects are not delayed and that PennDOT is held to a higher standard of safe design for vulnerable users in our city.

● SEPTA's Trolley Modernization Project has not started work on the upgraded stops for Baltimore Ave (construction planned 2027-2030). The project's future could be threatened by severe transit funding cuts.

However, slated safety
projects are yet to commence:

● City Council passed legislation authorizing the placement of a red light camera at this intersection in 2022. Installation has been delayed by lack of funding.

A safer solution for Baltimore Ave that could have prevented this tragedy is proposed in the
Trolley Modernization Project, which protects the bike lane with floating medians at trolley stops.

Paint-only bike lanes are unsafe, particularly on high-traffic roads, in door zones, and when they
signal to drivers that they can enter the lane.
