It seems like there are thousands of "low-hanging fruit" regulations that Philly could pass to make the city better but they are buried under "harder to accomplish" proposals that gum up the works.
Maybe if they flipped the stack and worked from the bottom, we'd be a little happier.

you can pay the cost and keep the permit active you can close the sidewalk. iM sure they have paid quite a bit due to the fact this project is way behind schedule. This site is horrible from an access perspective so that impacts what has to be closed to allow material deliveries etc.
