Official:Amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Zoning and Planning," and Title 16 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Public Property," to provide for a comprehensive plan for the placement of advertising on municipal property, and further, to allocate the proceeds of advertising on municipal property to an Education Fund, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Clarke
Introduced: June 16, 2011
: Committee on Public Property and Public Works
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 proposes a comprehensive plan to allow advertising on municipal property in Philadelphia and allocate the revenue generated from this program to an Education Fund. The goal is to raise money for the financially struggling Philadelphia School District.
