Philly is extremely well positioned to decrease congestion by encouraging cycling, whenever leadership decides to step up. For example in census tract 31 approx. 25% of commuters already commute via bike. Better bike infra would *multiply* biking, notably reducing car traffic.

Doing the Lord's work out here at PBA! We started this year with 7 bike lane parking permits and we are down to 4. Everyone deserves to ride safely. Let's make parking in the bike lanes a thing of the past!

The culture in this city regarding how we treat people outside of automobiles has got to change. We will look back on this time and wonder why we let so many people get hurt and killed because of our obsession with cars. Until then, we will keep fighting for safer streets.

We must make bike routes significantly safer and more convenient in order to make this happen. You’ll know it’s working when you see small kids and elders out on bikes like in other world cities that are succeeding in doing this. Let’s make it happen!

The Philadelphia Ethical Society will no longer be requesting parking permits for the Spruce/Pine bike lanes! We hope the 6 congregations currently requesting permits will do the same. Alternatively, Steve Lorenz could quit signing the bike lane parking permits. @PhilaStreets

Some Philly zip codes already haven’t more bike commuters per capita than almost anywhere in the country. It’s a convenient way to get around much of the city! But we need to make it a safe option for *everyone*, not just the few brave enough to do it with minimal protection

3 more days until the Sunday Slow Ride! No doubt we are serious about safe bike lanes. We even have a sign making guide for the professional or aspiring artists out there! The guide can be found here on our website: Ride deets here:

Thanks to the Church leaders' decision, the path to implement concrete protection to these bike lanes is clearer than ever.

City officials have been dragging their feet on safety improvements for years, and since nominally committing to Vision Zero, fatalities have actually gone up.

@b1naryw0r1d @PhilaParking If its on Spruce and Pine street there are permits given to the churches and synagogues to park in the bike lane. It is something we would like to see change. Here is an example of one

Posting because apparently they've been asked privately to not do this and this item they sell pretty much sums up their reaction

These deaths are preventable. These are our demands: - Immediately install permanent concrete protection for bike lanes across Philadelphia including Spruce, Pine, and Allegheny. - End bike lane parking “permits” for Spruce & Pine Streets ...

Go to to add your name and tell @PhillyMayor and @CouncilmemberKJ to prioritize Vision Zero projects!

Tell Mayor Parker: Don’t Defund Traffic Safety!

Mayor Cherelle Parker's Budget includes a 60% decrease in spending on Vision Zero projects, which help protect pedestrians, motorists, and people on bikes. Now is not the time to give up on safety....
