Reply to comment by NewcRoc in Philly Is Bringing Back Street Sweeping: You Will Need to Move Cars in These Places by youngbuck215

"Parking during the posted times could result in delay or cancellation for the day."

Am I reading this right? They won't be towing cars, just canceling the street cleaning.

This was exactly my reaction when I head they were implementing street sweeping— thank god the car with the cover over it that hasn’t moved in 2 years will finally have to move.

I bought a second car before the pandemic because I needed it and I haven’t had to drive more than a couple of times in 3 years now so mine just sit there

You should consider selling it or finding a second life for it, maybe a relative needs a car?

This is what happened last time. PPA would write you a ticket for not moving your car and street sweepers would never show up. Then streets dept would say it was cause cars didn't move. So one asshole wouldn't move his car and the cleaning crew would just skip your block. So you are inconvenienced for no reason.

Cancel trash pickup too. People will learn real fast to move their cars. Their neighbors will make sure of it.

My neighbors got tickets last year for not moving the cars during cleaning time... This sounds like they're just not gonna do it this year!

Tickets don’t do anything if they don’t tow, same old same old
