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 amends the Philadelphia Zoning Maps to change the zoning designation of a small area near Fountain Street and the Manayunk Canal from 'General Industrial' to 'Recreational'. This change affects a specific parcel of land containing approximately 1,051 square feet.
