Debate over how to best make streets safer divides South Philly, one of the nation’s most biked neighborhoods

Less than a year ago, Councilmember Jeffrey Young Jr. proposed eliminating a bicycle lane in Center City, but now he’s advocating to build more.

Road safety advocates have hit the streets demanding change, but the battle goes on in another venue –– state and local legislatures.

Starting in May, the parking authority will have a unit dedicated to ticketing cars parked in bike lanes.
