Official:Amending Chapter 12-900 of The Traffic Code, entitled "Parking Regulations and Penalties," and amending Chapter 9-600 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Service and Other Businesses," to increase the available off-street options for the parking of motor-driven cycles; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Kenney
Introduced: June 11, 2009
: 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 allows motor-driven cycles to be parked on sidewalks in a designated rack, and prohibits public parking facilities from categorically refusing to accept them.
