Level D: 11mph, 11 miles. Meet at Cadence Cycling and Cafe 201 S. 25th St Philadelphia. The ride leaves at 11:00 am. My daily commute home includes the Lindbergh Blvd bike lane. Since shortly after installation, the bike lane has been used as a parking lot for junk vehicles. I have been working with Councilmember Jamie Gauthier to get the 23 vehicles removed. I have submitted 5 of these vehicles to 311 and with the assistance of Councilmember Gauthier's team, they were removed within 24 hours as they pose an Imminent Health and Safety Hazard by forcing cyclists into the travel lanes to ride the narrow gap between the trolley tracks and the cars blocking the bike lane. These vehicles are to be towed immediately (as stipulated in Philadelphia Police Department Directive 12.6). Our mission is to collect the required information via photos for the remaining 18 vehicles. We’ll then ride to Vietnam Cafe for a relaxing lunch. The on-line route map is https://www.strava.com/routes/3057041698803306980.
