Currently under review by Council's Committee on Streets and Services
is Bill No. 080946, introduced in December by Councilmember Blackwell.
This bill would modify the Traffic Code by changing the established
towing zone locations in the University City area.
At present, the following are included in the tow zone, in the "hours
as posted" category:
South street, from the Schuylkill River to Thirty-third street, both
sides.
Spruce street, from Thirty-third street to Thirty-eighth street, both
sides.
Convention avenue, from South street to Thirty-fourth street, both
sides.
Thirty-eighth street, from Chestnut street to Sansom street, east side.
Thirty-eighth street, from Chestnut street to Walnut street, center
island.
Sansom street, from Thirty-eighth street to a point one hundred and
fifty-two feet
east thereof, north side.
Thirty-fourth street from Convention avenue to a point two hundred
ninety feet
south thereof, west side.]
Under the revised bill, the tow zone (still "hours as posted") would
be substantially enlarged in all directions,
to cover the following:
On all streets from the Schullkill River on the east, University
avenue/Woodland
avenue on the south, Fortieth street on the west, and by a line along
Filbert street,
between Fortieth street and Thirty-fourth street, along Thirty-fourth
street to Arch street,
along Arch street, between Thirty-fourth street and the Schulykill
River.
