New tool launch! Make our streets and sidewalks safer and more accessible with LASER VISION: our new tool that makes it easy to report blocked sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes to the Philadelphia Parking Authority 🔗📽️⬇️
We're holding pop-up concrete events. Check out the latest coverage!
What would concrete bike safety barriers look like along Spruce and Pine? Philly Bike Action held an event Saturday to squash misconceptions and give information about these potential safety solutions. billypenn.com/2026/04/14/phi…

A cyclist was killed on Aramingo Avenue on Sunday by a hit and run driver who entered the bike lane.
Paint is not protection. Concrete NOW!

Help us call on city and state leaders to prioritize safety in one of the busiest pedestrian corridors in the city. Sign the petition for safer infrastructure on West Market Street to prevent more deadly crashes!

📷 by @phlbikeaction: We are happy to announce that Laser Vision is now directly integrated with the PPA's reporting software!
Previously your reports were submitted via a browser automation "robot" 🤖 , but now they are submitted directly via API.
What's this mean? It means reports are submitted 10x faster (a few seconds versus nearly a minute) and use fewer of our resources. We are also able to store a service request id for follow up on how reports are handled.
Thanks to @philaparking staff who built the API and supported us in integrating!
June Rodriguez, a beloved friend and DJ in Philly, was killed in a hit-and-run at the intersection of Lancaster Avenue and 56th Street on Dec 20. If you have any information, please call the police.
My friend June was murdered last night in a cruel hit-and-run. He deserved better than this. If you have any information, please call the @PhillyPolice!
No biker, pedestrian, or driver should experience this.
Lancaster Ave has an inherently dangerous design for an urban setting: wide lanes with an unprotected bike lane often being used as a shoulder. This type of design promotes speeding and makes the corridor unsafe for everybody.
Lancaster Avenue has featured on every iteration of the high-injury network since 2017.
Despite the obvious dangers, Philadelphia leadership and @PennDOTNews, the agency that controls Lancaster Ave, have yet to make any real improvements to prioritize safety.
Can @PhillyPolice & @PhillyMayor ask officers to keep the new City Hall bike lane clear? Penn Square is not a place where you want people on bikes to have to go out into mixed traffic!
You can also email Council President Johnson and Councilmember Squilla. Links here: linktr.ee/phillybikeaction
The City of Philadelphia is expediting reversing the street direction of the 600 block of South LeCount Street. This may save lives. Immediate action is possible!
Thanks to our tech lead Ee & other PBA volunteers and average Philadelphians doing their part, we’ve already completely changed the level and quality of data that the PPA is receiving on dangerously parked vehicles
A new app will allow Philadelphians to report parking violations using "laser vision."
From illegal sidewalk parking to bike lane obstructions, violations captured by photo trigger an automatic report that gets sent to the PPA.

New @phlbikeaction Laser (lol) tool lets you report sidewalk, bike lane, and curb cut parking violations directly to the @PhilaParking authority 👍 Richie’s Raiders, time to ride and grind! bikeaction.org/laser
Snap a photo of a vehicle obstruction and Laser Vision will submit a report to PPA's Mobility Access Violation form using location, make, and model captured automatically from your photo.
Remember: never confront drivers. Be kind, report accessibility violations, and stay safe!
How it Works:
Go to bikeaction.org/laser to access Laser Vision. Follow the onscreen prompts and submit. That’s it!
You must have a bikeaction.org account to submit to Laser Vision.
