The Philadelphia Parking Authority is adding bike patrols. The new officers will specifically monitor drivers who park illegally in bike lanes. JanCarabeoCBS3 reports.
The PPA is adding eight bike officers. They will patrol bike lanes in Center City, South Philly and University City.
“We have medics on bicycles, we have lots of other enforcement officers on bicycles,” Sarah Clark Stuart, executive director of the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, said. “We have police on bikes, so there’s no reason why we can’t have parking enforcement on bikes.” The new officers will be launched in the designated areas in the fall with plans to expand the program citywide within a year.“I’m super happy the PPA is going to do that,” Beasley said. “They can make a lot of money.”
To remember the bicyclists killed over the last year in the greater Philadelphia area, bikers are uniting and going on a ride of silence on Wednesday night. They’re meeting at the City Hall at 6:30 p.m., going for a ride and then rejoining at the Art Museum.
