Actually USP is in summer session. I think some of the cars that were towed had their horns broken.I heard (from around the corner on Kingsessing) the sound of continuous honking as the sound moved away, more than once. I had a fantasy that someone was trapped in a car and trying to get out or

Actually Springfield and Kingsessing. The signs have been up since last Wednesday, though many were taken down because a number of them were stapled to the trees. On 6/4/07, Seth Kulick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cars are getting towed on 46th street, between Chester and Kingsessing, and I

What's even more lame? The bureaucracy of our streets department. Several days ago (when I noticed the signs) I had called the streets department to see what kind of scheduled street work was supposed to happen. I live on the 1100 block of S. 46th. After several attempts (6 different phone

I was rather puzzled by this as well -- I'm no streets expert, but I walk along mine a fair amount and noticed no anomolies that looked like they'd require repaving. I imagine that every single tax dollar I've spent since I moved here wouldn't cover this. Where's our community input on this

I say we all rebell by trying to enforce the fine to the contractor (I was told they are the ones responsible for putting up the signs). I think each occurrence can be up $100? Can someone look up the law? Can Kyle go down the entire stretch of 46th and take pictures of all the trees that have
