Official:Amending Title 12 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled, "Traffic Code," by requiring that the pedestrian crossing time at certain intersections be adjusted to account for the increased time required by elderly and disabled pedestrians to traverse streets, adding definitions and making certain technical changes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Greenlee
Introduced: March 22, 2007
: 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 requires that pedestrian crossing times at certain intersections be adjusted to accommodate elderly and disabled pedestrians who may need more time to cross.
