Philadelphia市议会全票通过 市政厅周边自行车道转为永久设施

位于宾夕法尼亚州费城县的费城市(市县合一),Philadelphia市议会10月15日周四全票通过法案,将市政厅周边一条既有自行车道转为永久设施。PhillyVoice报道,该车道是宾夕法尼亚州交通厅每12年一次的市政厅周边道路重铺工程期间建成的,此前因未获完整立法批准,一直被视为试点项目,可以被拆除。
法案由第五区市议员小杰弗里·杨于2025年6月提出。倡导者当时提交了1200人联署请愿,杨的办公室还收到400多封支持电邮。周四的公众评论环节,倡导组织5th Square执行主任科琳·拉格马西尼表示,市政厅是Philadelphia政府、交通与公共空间的交汇点,但行人、公交乘客与残障人士需穿越四车道混乱危险的车流才能到达。
大Philadelphia自行车联盟统计,2026年以来Philadelphia已有1名骑行者与27名行人在交通事故中丧生,但市政厅周边未发生此类事故;2024年11月,市政厅外曾发生肇事逃逸,两名行人被撞,其中一人截肢。法案现待市长签署;因表决全票通过,即使市长不签也可成为法律。
Philadelphia Council Unanimously Approves Bill Making City Hall Bike Lane Permanent
Philadelphia is a city in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania (a consolidated city-county). An existing bike lane around Philadelphia City Hall will remain in place after the City Council unanimously approved a bill on Thursday, PhillyVoice reported. The lane was built by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation during its repaving of the roads around the government building, which it does every 12 years, but without full legislative approval the project was considered a pilot that could be removed.
Councilmember Jeffrey Young Jr. introduced the legislation in June 2025. Cycling advocates submitted a 1,200-signature petition in favor of the project and sent more than 400 emails to Young's office. At Thursday's public comment session, Corinne Lagermasini, executive director of 5th Square Advocacy, said City Hall is the intersection of Philadelphia's government, transit and public spaces, yet pedestrians, transit users and people with disabilities must navigate four lanes of chaotic and dangerous traffic to get there.
The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia has reported 1 cyclist and 27 pedestrians killed in traffic in 2026 so far, although none in the area around City Hall; in November 2024, two people were struck in a hit-and-run outside the building and one victim had to have a leg amputated. The bill now awaits the mayor's signature, although with a unanimous vote it can become law with or without it.
