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 the redevelopment proposal for a specific area in Philadelphia known as Model Cities Urban Renewal Area, which is located near Front Street and Spring Garden Street. The changes involve acquiring more land for residential, institutional, and commercial uses. The Redevelopment Authority will provide relocation services as required by law.
