Philadelphia Orders Cars Off South Broad for Heavy-Equipment Snow Removal Tuesday

The targeted cleanup follows a storm that left nearly 10 inches of snow, drawing complaints about slow clearing.

Overview

  • The city directed no parking on a nearly two-mile stretch of South Broad Street between Washington and Oregon avenues starting at 7 a.m. for a lifting operation.
  • All vehicles must be moved before work begins, with any relocations determined on a case-by-case basis.
  • Crews will use dozens of vehicles, including excavators and loaders, and traffic could face temporary disruptions.
  • Free daytime parking is available at Citizens Bank Park’s Lot U from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and drivers unable to retrieve cars by 6 p.m. should find other street parking.
  • The Philadelphia Parking Authority is resuming meter enforcement and towing, and the Streets Department urges motorists to slow down, allow extra time, and give crews space.
