Official:Authorizing the revision of lines and grades on a portion of City Plan No. 187 by striking from the City Plan and vacating the legally open portion of Edgemont Street from Butler Street to a point approximately three-hundred seventy-seven feet northeastwardly therefrom, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Henon
Introduced: June 9, 2016
: Committee on Streets and Services
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2016–2019 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 would revise a part of Philadelphia's City Plan and vacate a portion of Edgemont Street, but with certain conditions. The street would be removed from the plan if the affected property owners agree to release the city from potential damages.
