What is the @PhilaParking solution for @USPS and @amazon trucks stopping in the bike lanes. #1 culprits and it’s not even close. I don’t see how the Laser app helps. Doubt a fine gets to them and what does a $20 fee do?
There are about 30 other U.S. cities that need to do what Seattle did.

The Trump administration has taken its anti-diversity agenda to such extremes that it's killing good infrastructure projects - including roadway safety improvements that I worked on with congressional Republicans - just because they went to disadvantaged areas.
Dogs rule. Idk what this clown is talking about. … but pick up after your pup plz
We MUST enforce rules on dogs downtown, or else in In 40 years, we will look back on them the same way we look at cars: As a catastrophe for how it molded the urban environment by not pricing in the public costs of private items … driven by owners who refuse to follow rules
Legislators' lack of apparent urgency to fulfill their constitutional duty, pass a budget, and not cut Philly's public transit system by 45% inquirer.com/news/pennsylva…
Better idea: remove all the damn fencing and cars speeding by that makes Independence Hall totally inaccessible.
The Trump administration is considering removing Independence National Historical Park exhibits for depicting American history in a ‘negative light’ inquirer.com/politics/natio…

Can I get 100 people to retweet this flyer? It’s gonna be such a dope event.
I get we’ve had non-stop rain in July… but @INDEPENDENCENHP is really doing the bare minimum for landscape and lawn maintenance. Most of the Independence attractions seem abandoned. Any plans for this @Philadelphia250?
My top 3 Philly infrastructure investments: 1. A new, clean, walkable corridor for businesses (e.g. Fulton Market in Chicago) 2. Riverwalks for visiting, not just jogging, (e.g. Fells Point in Baltimore) 3. Old City as Williamsburg: car-free, more cobblestones What are yours?
Does anybody on this app know what the city is trying to do with City Tavern? Any bids?
This would fix me, and America.
We perfected row house neighborhoods.. Then we suddenly just stopped building them.
Philadelphia has the least amount of commercial waste policy and enforcement. Here’s my solution: Charge a tiered waste-based tax to commercial businesses with environmental fees. All who don’t meet guidelines are taxed. That tax goes to the salary % increase for DC 33
