: Committee on Streets and Services

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.
This bill prohibits truck parking on both sides of Torresdale Avenue and Megargee Street in Northeast Philadelphia, from Linden Avenue to Rhawn Street and Frankford Avenue.
