BREAKING: I just announced a $30 million plan to fix traffic congestion and keep people safe around the Sports Complex in South Philly.
This area is a major economic and entertainment hub โ and too many of us know what itโs like to sit in that traffic.
Whether youโre coming into town for a game or youโre a local who drives on these roads daily, these investments will help you get to where you need to go safely and on time.

Like I said. City Council has a monopoly on Stupid ideas. Sheโs a socialist and no sane developer wants to build in her district. Sheโs cosplaying Mayor to the detriment of her constituents while flirting with Constitutional property rights. SJ has a legitimate 5th amendment case

This would be a mistake. Nationalizing the race and elevating another member of of the "let's get angry and yell" caucus would be a major let down to the people of Philadelphia. We need an advocate for the city who isn't going to use the seat as a bully pulpit for the Omnicause.
It looks like the Philadelphia Inquirer editorial board is planning on endorsing Chris Rabb for PA-3. Rabb has been leading in fundraising in all categories and seen as the most progressive Democrat of the 3 candidates in the race, which polls have suggested is very competitive

A step in the right direction, but a โTOD overlayโ wouldnโt be worth much if itโs one that excludes:
- All Regional Rail
- All trolleys (including the 15)
- All high frequency busses
- the ENTIRE Broad Street line

This is a small step in the right direction, but there should be no council member prerogative on zoning and development along the Broad Street Line.
The current TOD overlay has no BSL stopsโฆ
The Mayor is just expanding the existing law by โฌ๏ธ the radius from 500 ft to 1,320 ftโฆ
And leaving it up to the District members to add more stops because ofโฆ COUNCILMANIC PREROGATIVE. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Up-zone ALL transit corridors. Fund SEPTA!

Mayor Parker sent legislation to City Council today that would beef up Philadelphia's transit-oriented development law, tripling the scope of its effect--while still exempting areas zoned for single family inquirer.com/real-estate/comโฆ

Is there any major commenter in Philadelphia who is anti pee & smoking on the subway but pro sidewalks and crosswalk parking? I'm pretty sure the loudest opponents (aka me) of the former also oppose the latter. And yes people do ask for them to immediately get towed.
Feb 22
in the city of Philadelphia the most common anti social activity people engage in is parking in curb cuts and crosswalks but you never hear people asking for PPA to immediately tow every single car parked in a curb cut. I think they should do that.

This is a lost skill in sports broadcasting.
Kenny Albert does not say a single word after the 13-second mark. He says what needs to be said, and then he shuts up. He lets the moment speak for itself.
Lots of people in the business could take a lesson from him.

Watched this probably 20 times. What an incredible move.
Also a really great call from the broadcast team.

Iโve seen her positive words โ If @PhillyMayor is serious about supporting manufacturing, shipbuilding, and the defense industrial base in Philadelphia, I will help her. New York is in a rapidly accelerating crisis of conscience.
Easy Aerial is leaving the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
@BklynNavyYard leadership made the right decision last month to not renew their lease.
This public asset should not be leasing space to companies producing drones that are being transformed into weapons of war.

Praying it was fake because itโs the most racist thing Iโve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it.
President Trump posted a video featuring the Obamas as monkeys on Truth Social.
