Official:Amending Section 12-1117 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Physically Handicapped and Disabled or Severely Disabled Veteran Parking," by amending the provision relating to metered parking for physically handicapped persons and severely-disabled veterans, and making such amendment contingent on the enactment of an ordinance relating to the establishment of parking for motor-driven cycles and similar motor vehicles, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember DiCicco
Introduced: October 20, 2005
: Committee on Streets and Services
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2004–2007 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.
This bill amends parking regulations for physically handicapped persons and severely-disabled veterans in Philadelphia. The amendment allows more accessible parking spaces to be designated on metered blocks. However, it's contingent on another ordinance establishing parking for motor-driven cycles and similar vehicles.
