The Philadelphia City Council has unanimously passed the 'Get Out the Bike Lane' bill, imposing stricter penalties for parking or stopping in bike lanes to enhance cyclist safety. Under the new legislation, fines will increase to $125 in Center City and University City, and $75 in other neighborhoods, compared to the previous $75 and $50 fines. This move follows the death of Dr. Barbara Friedes, highlighting the dangers posed to cyclists by blocked bike lanes. While the bill has been supported by bike safety advocates, some residents express concerns about its impact on families with special needs children. Proponents argue that alternative loading zones can address these concerns without compromising cyclist safety. The bill will take effect immediately upon Mayor Cherelle Parker's signature.
