The long tradition of parking in the middle of Broad Street is going away, at least for the length of the Democratic National Convention. It's a shame visitors won't be able to witness this proud tradition.
Enforcement will focus on South Broad Street between Washington and Packer Avenues, beginning on Sunday, July 24 and ending on Friday, July 29.
Protest groups are expected to march down South Broad Street toward the convention venue at the Wells Fargo Center.
Enforcing the parking ban will help ensure the safety of the protesters and police officers, city officials said.
Residents are encouraged to check street signs for temporary parking restrictions.
Parking on the median on South Broad Street, double parking in South Philly and parking vehicles in any place large enough to hold them has long been the norm for decades.
