Such a shame that the recent sanitation strike led to zero reconsideration of this policy, or the practice of doing door-to-door pickups in such a dense city. There is a cleaner, safer, cheaper, more environmentally friendly method waiting for you on your next Mediterranean vacation…

Always a good reminder that even the partial highway tolling regime Philly has is completely backwards: only some belt highways and bridges are tolled, while nearly all radial highways which directly contribute to CBD congestion are free!

Planners and city govts have done a really poor job thus far on recognizing delivery e-bike riders as a legitimate mode and part of the transportation calculus. If we really want to improve "community engagement" this is the first community I would want to engage!
Anyway this smacks of “we want to have all of the advantages of cheap delivery but we don’t want to have to deal with the externalities” in a city where the easiest way for you to get around on a bike is through a park

Sick of traffic during your morning commute?
Then I have some bad news: if SEPTA's service cuts go into effect, there will be 275,000 more cars on the road every day.
We generate 41% of PA's economic activity on 5% of its land. This isn't possible without SEPTA.

Regional planners calculated the impact on traffic if SEPTA cuts happen. It’s really bad.
New traffic projections from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission show a potentially miserable commute for Philly drivers.

Mayor Adams is a clown but City of Yes is a great slogan ngl
What would City of Yes look like in Philly? Expanding TOD overlay to more BSL and RR stations, and increasing footprint from 500 sqft radius; upzoning, and reversing downzonings of major corridors; removal of ADU bans from district overlays; redevelopment/densification of aging
The Council majority and City Hall have reached a SWEEPING agreement integrating the original City of Yes proposal with City for All, spearheaded by the Speaker.
This historic zoning reform is a major step toward addressing NYC’s housing shortage. 🧵
