PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE

We support and promote:

  • Our "public utilities" should be "publicly owned", and not controlled by commercial, private, or foreign entities.

  • The Streets Department should consider the following: 1) engineering alternatives to conventional asphalt roads which are difficult to properly maintain. (See SmallStreetsPhilly.org), 2) a year-round on-call pick-up public service for yard waste, and 3) "recycling" warehouses for items that can be repaired, sold, or given away to individuals, businesses, or charities, such as clothes, furniture, and other household items, 4) add another crew member to trash collection so that they can clean up after themselves and not leave a big mess, and lastly, 5) Get rid of the Big Belly's that stink, jam, break down and over all disgusting!

  • Licenses & Inspection employees need to do their job and ensure properties are properly maintained - or get fired.

  • Residents should know who the Streets Department supervisors and L&I inspectors are for their part of Philly.

(Covers City Council Committees: Public Property & Public Works, Streets & Services, Licenses & Inspection, Transportation & Public Utilities, Water & Air Quality, Parks/Recreation/ and Cultural Affairs, Technology and Information Services, Neighborhood Services)
