PPA to Require Temporary Resident Permits Around Lemon Hill for World Cup Fan Festival

The policy aims to reserve street spaces for residents during the car-free Fan Festival.

Overview

  • Philadelphia's Parking Authority said Tuesday it will restrict street parking near Lemon Hill to permitted residents from June 11 through July 19.
  • Residents can apply online or at the PPA Permit Office at 35 N. 8th St. with proof of residency and a current Pennsylvania vehicle registration.
  • Households may register up to six vehicles and receive up to two visitor day passes, and people without cars can still get visitor passes with proof of residency.
  • There is no parking at the festival site, the PPA will increase patrols, and officials say SEPTA will add bus capacity with a new PHLASH stop near Fairmount and Pennsylvania avenues.
  • Outlets differ on whether the zone includes Strawberry Mansion or Spring Garden, and the PPA’s interactive map is the final word on boundaries with a virtual info session planned to explain logistics and site upgrades.
