Official:Authorizing and directing the City, including the Commissioner of Public Property and the City Solicitor, to request that CSX Transportation, Inc., remove its signal shed, located in the vicinity of the intersection of the Schuylkill River Trail and the overpass of the Vine Street Expressway, from its bearing on City property and, if necessary, to take legal action to force the removal of the shed from City property; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Clarke
Introduced: December 1, 2005
: Committee on Transportation and Public Utilities
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 tells CSX Transportation to remove a signal shed from city property near the Schuylkill River Trail and Vine Street Expressway. If CSX doesn't comply, the city can take legal action.
