The results of the yearlong evaluation make for a powerful argument as officials consider similar safety projects and transportation proposals around Philadelphia. Ultimately, Johnson pulled the rug out from underneath the plan entirely, at least for the portion of Washington Avenue west of Broad Street that runs through his district. This left safety measures to be installed only on the part of the avenue inside Councilmember Mark Squilla’s district.
The stretch of Washington Avenue east of Broad Street, where two travel lanes were removed, saw a 20% decrease in traffic volume. The west of Broad portion of the avenue, where Johnson nixed the lane removal, saw traffic decline by 11%. Double parking and median parking also decreased, while the availability of legal spaces increased.
