No one voted on this bill

This bill was introduced in the 2012–2015 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.

Plain-Language Summary

This bill establishes parking regulations in four specific areas of Philadelphia: near 45th street and Spruce street, Cedar avenue and 47th street, 34th street and Brandywine street, and Farragut street and Walnut street. These areas will have two-hour parking limits from Monday to Friday, with specified times and exceptions.
