Official:Authorizing the revision of lines and grades on a portion of City Plan No. 228 by striking from the City Plan Markle Street from Ridge Avenue to a point approximately four-hundred one feet southeastwardly therefrom, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Jones
Introduced: October 6, 2011
: 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 authorizes a revision to Philadelphia's City Plan No. 228 by removing Markle Street from Ridge Avenue to a specific point approximately four-hundred one feet southeastwardly therefrom. The revision is conditional upon property owners agreeing to release the city from potential damages and claims, and making necessary adjustments to street infrastructure.
