Rittenhouse Square Sitting Ban
CCRA is glad that the Rittenhouse Square sitting ban is
over. Some 70% of member responses in our survey this past Monday
opposed those signs, as did a majority of our Board. The comments to
our survey indicate that most felt that the sitting-ban was overly
broad. One-third of the comments (often from people opposing the ban)
mentioned marijuana use in the park, indicating concern about that
issue, though mostly in a second-hand smoke context. Fewer people
expressed concern over vandalism/graffiti, which is generally cleaned
within 24-48 hours of appearing.
Full survey results can be found here.
Most important is continued dialogue among everybody about
the space we all cherish. We believe the Friends of Rittenhouse Square,
as well as those who objected to the sitting ban, acted in good faith
to make the Square better for all people.

Lane Closure on the South Street Bridge thru 2/28
CHOP has secured a permit from the Philadelphia Street Dept. for a
temporary lane closure on the South Street Bridge that will allow them
to load materials on the South Street Plaza. The intermittent closures
will take place starting today, through 2/28 on an as-needed basis. Any
deliveries will be limited to the hours between 10:00am - 2:00pm to
avoid impacting rush hour traffic. Pedestrian traffic will be maintained
but detoured to the opposite side of the street at controlled
intersections.
