Currently under review by Council's Committee on Streets and Services is Bill No. 080946, introduced in December by Councilmember Blackwell. This bill would modify the Traffic Code by changing the established towing zone locations in the University City area. At present, the following are included in the tow zone, in the hours as posted category: South street, from the Schuylkill River to Thirty-third street, both sides. Spruce street, from Thirty-third street to Thirty-eighth street, both sides. Convention avenue, from South street to Thirty-fourth street, both sides. Thirty-eighth street, from Chestnut street to Sansom street, east side. Thirty-eighth street, from Chestnut street to Walnut street, center island. Sansom street, from Thirty-eighth street to a point one hundred and fifty-two feet east thereof, north side. Thirty-fourth street from Convention avenue to a point two hundred ninety feet south thereof, west side.] Under the revised bill, the tow zone (still hours as posted) would be substantially enlarged in all directions, to cover the following: On all streets from the Schullkill River on the east, University avenue/Woodland avenue on the south, Fortieth street on the west, and by a line along Filbert street, between Fortieth street and Thirty-fourth street, along Thirty-fourth street to Arch street, along Arch street, between Thirty-fourth street and the Schulykill River.

[UC] [Ucneighbors] White Dog
I sent this the other day but it didn't arrive. From the Inquirer: Breaking some eggs: A house-cleaning and a back-of-the-house cleaning have come to the landmark White Dog Cafe in University City. After longtime owner Judy Wicks took on managing partner Marty Grims (Moshulu, Du Jour), this week saw the firings of longtime chef Andy Brown and staff. Workers then emptied the kitchen, power-washed it and installed new equipment. New staff should be on board, as the restaurant aims to reopen tomorrow night.

[UC] ALERT: ROBBERIES NEAR 48TH STREET
Hello All, A neighbor from near 48th and Kingsessing let me know that he was beaten and robbed at 7 pm on the 900 block of 48th St. last night (Thursday), right at the corner of Windsor and 48th. One person confronted him as he walked north on the sidewalk, cornering him against a parked van, and two (or more) others jumped out behind him from where they had been hiding (likely from behind a tall bush near the sidewalk). They knocked him to the ground and got his wallet, while beating him up. They then ran down Windsor towards 49th St. He is not seriously injured, and did report it to the police. I have heard of a few other incidents this week: two nights ago, a person was robbed at 48th and Hazel, with the 3 assailants running down 48th to Cedar and turning west. One of them was armed with a gun. Also, 3 or 4 nights ago, 2 women were robbed at 48th and Kingsessing. All of these incidents happened in the early evening, between 7 and 9 pm. There are not good descriptions that I know of, beyond the usual dark hoodies. If I hear anything else, I will pass it along. Obviously, exercise caution while you are out and about.

[UC] Re: [UC-Announce] ALERT: ROBBERIES NEAR 48TH STREET
Hi, Patty, thanks for the warning. Have these incidents ALL been reported to both the police the UCD? I've heard that our current 18th District police captain is very good, and that we are targeted for extra crime-reduction services. A few weeks ago undercover police followed 4 juveniles for TWO HOURS, from Kingsessing Ave., finally over to 47th St. outside of Abbraccio where one of the 4 pulled a gun on a young woman walking down the street. The 4 undercover cops had the 4 juveniles down on the ground INSTANTLY. So it's really, really important right now that they know that they need to have even more undercover guys out there right now, since obviously there are still more criminals. So, were these all reported?

[UC] Finally, an Apple store!
Not in the Radian where I wanted it but at 1619 Walnut St. This is the site of the now-closed Brasserie Perrier and formerly KYW TV studio where The Mike Douglas Show was taped. Everyone was on that show, from John and Yoko to Totie Fields! Great choice. Frank You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named UnivCity.

These incidents were all reported. We need to continue to encourage each other to report any and all incidents, so that they can be part of how the police respond. I have also heard that there are more patrols. But the police can't do everything, and so we all need to do our parts by practicing safe behaviors and being alert to unusual behavior, and keeping an eye on each other.
