Spruce St. Bike lane...no stopping anytime evidently = stop whenever you want.

Blocking the bike lane in order to make delivery and line his pockets with cash, while I get pushed into the car lane and puts my life in jeopardy, which is more important????

I calledd JULIUS SIVERT INC 215-455-1600 and voice my concern about the inconsidered truck delivery person

Again, in spite of several close by alleys, and nearby unloading zones (at the end of the street near the intersection) the delivery fellow finds it easier to take up the entire bike lane for deliveries.

What was the purpose of that hand truck for again?

This truck was blocking the bike lane at 5:00 p.m. on Walnut just before 43rd street. They were loading metal rods from the former Rite Aid into the back of this box truck. Should have taken a photo of the company name on the side, it belonged to a production company, equipment rental or somesuch.

Within seconds of maneuvering around the Wistar delivery truck, I encountered this truck. Doing what? I dunno. No driver, and no one in sight. Does Philly ticket anyone other than those whose meters run out? Man, the city could make a fortune handing out tickets. So many untapped revenue streams....

Giant delivery truck unloading on Spruce St. in front of the Wistar Institute. While trying to save lives by curing cancer and other ailments, Wistar is helping ensure accidents and death to bikers who would like to safely get to their destination. Funny, b/c there is a loading dock driveway OFF of spruce, INSIDE the Wistar Instit. Too difficult to turn into a driveway I guess (??????)

Saw this one on while riding--like a moth to a flame--to the re-scheduled 2007 Mummer's Parade in Center City Philadelphia. (Don't know what that is? The internet will provide the truth, whether you like it or not.) Anyhow, like some posters to this wonderful site I have a soft spot for those who work for a living in their vans and trucks, and I don't think it's just because I was once one myself. Still, this situation angers me because this isn't a case where the driver is forced to make a delivery where there is nowhere legal to stop. You can see a couple of parking spots across the street. Philly riders will know that that this is a particularly nasty spot to have to move into the lane if you are on the right, because traffic is heading east on Chestnut at a high rate of speed, you know, because the drivers know they're about to spend the next half hour between 23rd and Broad street. It's the last chance to feel the wind in your hair for a while, unless you're on a bike. Another thing; I looked at this picture a number of times, and I can't see a license plate. What the heck... half the drivers in my neighborhood have those scratched up smoked plastic covers over their plates anyway, so what's the difference?

Same as every day on Chester Ave. The problem in my eyes isn't so much delivery trucks as the constitutional right all Americans have to on-street parking... I like getting packages. Why isn't there a place for the trucker to park that's out of the way of the bike lane and the trolley [tram]? Feast your eyes on what westbound bikers have to negotiate to get around this park job... trolley tracks, cobblestones and pottholes! And a Camry joined the little party, too, but my flash spoiled that one's license plate.
