NO MORE HARMFUL REAL ESTATE DEALS BLESSED BY POLITICIANS AND CORRUPT DYSFUNCTIONAL MUNICIPAL SYSTEM!
East Sydney Street Needs City Wide help and support. If EAst Sydney street can WIN their right to orderly , healthy and inclusionary development -- the whole city can WIN. Leave a message at 215 525 1176 to lend your help and ideas. We need lawyers, publicity and DUST CONTROL!!!! We need to mobilize for the average citizen of Philadelphia. We need full transparency and exposure of the violations done in this project and the harm to our neighborhood. Neighborhoods are for Neighbors!
The City of Philadelphia needs its Day of Reckoning about how it treats its average citizen. East Sydney Street is a small one way rowhouse street in East Mt Airy but the problems inherent in this disaster reflect the greater issues of municipal corruption and abuse toward citizens in Philadelphia. If we can solve and expose the problems on East Sydney Street -it will force the city to be more accountable to other neighborhoods.
I have a lot of information. The residents on this street , who are mainly women and children have a lot to say, but we need help from the outside.
My neighborhood has suffered the results of an extremely bad plan, riddled with violations and environmental and social harm. We have suffered through the failed partial construction of this plan for over a year. We have ended up in the emergency room because of dust and other chemicals in the air and other factors listed below. Please Help. Please condemn this partially constructed site and start over with a better plan. PLease Attend NW GREEN PLAN Meeting on Tuesday OCT 9 at Library at Chelton and Green.
East Sydney Street continues to be violated by the City of Philadelphia
and the developer friends they protect. I have spoken to more and more
women on my street. We are all extremely angry at how this City and
this City has abused our way of life, our health and our property and our
children and the future of our respiratory health.
This is a very serious matter and we have many children on our street.
These are only some of the issues that our neighborhood has been
suffering.
1) Construction is poor and lowers the standard of living in our
neighborhood. Adds Congestion and Noise.
2) Public Health Hazards of Long Term Uncontrolled Dust is dangerous
to the health and future health of you and your children.
3) Many woman on East Sydney Street have experienced sexual
harassment by construction crew.
4) The children are forced to change their play areas to get away from
the construction.
5) The construction site has been regularly used as a “clubhouse” for
drunkenness, drugs and disorderly conduct. Rise in crime.
6) Our cars are constantly full of dust. We can’t walk to our cars, the train
or into our homes without getting dust on us.
7) Neighbors closest to the site cannot use their porches or backyards
because ot the dust hazards.
8) The city allowed us to be without a functioning fire hydrant for a year
or more, causing potential fire danger to our neighborhood.
9) Site was always an industrial site. It was coal yard for many decades,
Brick company, contractor’s storage yard, automotive storage and
underground gasoline tank. We were exposed to that contaminated
dust. This is a crime.
10) The Water Department gave violations for dust from a
Contaminated site and did not inform the neighbors of the health
hazards.
11) This unfinished project is a magnate to crime and pollution and
unlivable and harm to the neighborhood..
12) Ask that Green Plan, a division of the City Planning Commission
take over this site and use Green Plan principals to work with the
neighbors to create a place of health and beauty for our children and
future generations.
Please help. For once please help create a healthy neighborhood for
the people who live here and stop allowing builders to abuse and harm
us. The dust pollutants are illegal and our civil rights and health have
been violated.
This crime against this neighborhood must be corrected in full.
