No one voted on this bill

This bill was introduced in the 2000–2003 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.

That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.

Plain-Language Summary

This bill restricts buses from traveling through certain streets in Philadelphia: Dauphin St from 52nd to Dakota St, Dakota St from Dauphin to 51st St, and Nevada St from Dauphin to 51st St.
