Official:Authorizing the Commissioner of Public Property, on behalf of the City, to convey to the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development all or a portion of a parcel of land situated at 2401 Chestnut Street, for further conveyance, and authorizing the plotting upon City Plan No. 307 a right-of-way for sewer, drainage and bridge purposes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Johnson
Introduced: November 21, 2019
: Committee on Public Property and Public Works
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 allows the city to sell a small piece of land at 2401 Chestnut Street to an industrial development authority, while also creating a right-of-way easement for sewer and bridge purposes.
