PRESS RELEASE: STREETS DEPARTMENT TO HOST MEETINGS ON SIGNAL UPGRADES AND TRANSIT PRIORITY



The City of Philadelphia Department of Streets, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will hold a public information meeting to discuss a proposed signal improvement project for Woodland Avenue from Island Avenue to 42nd Street.

The meeting will be held on Monday, September 10, 2012 from 5pm to 7pm at Paschalville Branch, 6942 Woodland Avenue. The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public with information regarding the project objectives, and to gain input on the proposed design plans.

The objectives of the project are to upgrade the existing signal equipment to improve the safety and mobility of the corridor for vehicles, pedestrians and the operation of SEPTA fleet vehicles.

The project will include the replacement of twenty six (26) traffic signals, the installation of ADA ramps, and the implementation of Green Streets infrastructure. Construction is expected to begin in the Spring of 2014.

STREETS DEPARTMENT REOPENS 15TH STREET BRIDGE
WEDNESDAY, MAY 15
Vehicle Weight Restriction Established

PHILADELPHIA - The 15th Street Bridge between Callowhill and Spring Garden Streets opened to vehicular traffic today, with a "three-ton, no trucks or bus weight restrictions," Streets Commissioner David J. Perri announced today. All trucks, buses and other heavy vehicles are required to detour to alternate travel routes for the entire length of the bridge.

The bridge was closed January 2013 due to severe deterioration to a section of the bridge. The Streets Department's Bridge Maintenance Unit re-enforced this section to strengthen the bridge.

The Streets Department thanks citizens for their patience and cooperation during this project.
