Streets Department crews have been busy this spring repairing roadways across Philadelphia! This year, the “One Philly Pothole Squad” have repaired over 26,000 potholes plus other roadway defects such as the cave-in and cobblestone repairs seen in the video. Glenn Johnson with our Central Maintenance Unit said it best: "The work I do, I take pride in it because these are our streets. I have to drive down them, my kids, my grandmother, you know, everyone in my family. So I take pride in my work, and my crew also does as well. So that's what we do for the city to keep our city moving." Please report any roadway damage you see to 311. When traveling near crews, slow down, pay attention, and give them space to do their work.

Looking back at one of our City’s iconic stretches in our #250Rewind. Designed by architect Jacques Gréber in 1917 to emulate the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway offers a cultural heart of the City connecting the Art Museum to City Hall in Philly. The one mile long walk features major museums like the Rodin, parks including Logan Square, and has been the main host location for several of Philly’s largest events. 📷 Dept. of Records and Free Library of Philadelphia
