In the coming weeks, the City’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems will run a Spring Abandoned Bike Sweep to clear sidewalk clutter and open up bike parking. Bikes left in public areas with two or more missing or damaged parts will be tagged and removed. Bikes that can be fixed will be donated to a local nonprofit so they can be used again.
See an abandoned bike in your neighborhood? Here’s how to report it:
- Use the 311 app!
- Open the app and submit a new request
- Select ‘Abandoned Bicycle’ (second from the top)
- Type in the closest address
- Fill out the required fields
- Click submit!
- You can also report by calling 311 directly or contacting OTIS at otis@phila.gov or 215-686-5552.
Your reports help make our streets cleaner, greener and more accessible.
