Official:Amending Section 9-205 of The Philadelphia Code, relating to Sidewalk Sales by prohibiting sidewalk sales within twenty-five feet of 2510 Cheltenham Avenue.
Sponsor: Councilmember Tasco
Introduced: October 23, 2008
: Committee on Streets and Services
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 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 prohibits sidewalk sales within a 25-foot radius of 2510 Cheltenham Avenue, likely intended to benefit a specific business or property.
