Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," by amending Chapter 14-1400, entitled "Parking and Loading Facilities," by adding a new Section providing for bicycle parking, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Reynolds Brown
Introduced: February 26, 2009
: Committee on Rules
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 requires new buildings and developments to provide bicycle parking spaces based on the number of motor vehicles required for parking. The goal is to encourage cycling in Philadelphia by ensuring safe and accessible places to park bicycles.
