On the morning of May 21st, a father and his 4-year-old son on a bicycle and "tag-along" were struck and critically injured by a car when crossing MLK (West River) Drive at the mid-block crosswalk below the Art Museum. This horrible crash is the latest example of the dangers of a beautiful park road that has been allowed to become a throughway. It is time to make MLK Drive safe for park users.   

Send Mayor Nutter a letter asking him to make MLK Drive safe for park users and then make a gift to support Take Back the Drive.

It is time for Philadelphia to fill the gaps in the Schuylkill River Trail. It is time that the premiere trail in our region not require you to know secret map coordinates in order to get in and out of the city. It is time to fix what's broken in Manayunk and extend the trail down to Bartram's Garden and beyond. It is time that federal transportation funds be used to complete the region's first green transportation corridor.

As of 2006, 35% of the occupied housing units in Philadelphia and 51% of the occupied rental housing units did not have a vehicle

On May 21st, City Council passed  Bill # 090190 to amend the Philadelphia Zoning Code to require bicycle parking for new zoning permits.  The bill, introduced by Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown, Councilman Kenny and Councilman Curtis Jones Jr. passed unaminously.   Read the Bicycle Coalition's factsheet (updated on April 16, 2009) about it. This legislation was developed by the Bicycle Coalition and the Nutter Administration through the Pedestrian/Bicycle Plan Steering Committee.  Other cities' ordinances and approaches were reviewed and considered when this ordinance was developed.
