This manhole is STILL OPEN 4 months after it was removed by either PWD or PGW. It is currently covered with some flimsy, rotting pieces of particle board and just waiting for a child to fall in it. The City and it's utility companies have allowed this manhole to remain open 1/2 a block from an elementary school for over 4 months.

Manhole STILL open and particle board covering it increasingly rotted and soft. Just a matter of time before a child walking to school goes in and the City has a huge lawsuit on their hands.
Way to go Philly!

Is anyone going to acknowledge this issue and address it?!?!?!?!?
It has been in this state for 6 months, maybe more. The hole continues to be covered by deteriorating particle board and is in no way safe! The hazard to the many children living on Carpenter street is to great to dismiss. Any of those children or the many that walk that route to go to school - a 1/2 A BLOCK AWAY - could easily fall into this hole.
Not as important, but of note, is the fact that this uncovered manhole takes up an additional parking spot in an already congested parking neighborhood. How many times do people in the neighborhood have to report something like this before its addressed??? Or do we have to wait until someone falls in before the city takes note?

As a fairly long time resident of the area who used to be able to park in front of my house almost every day, I hear what you're saying about the parking. It's been hard to adjust, but, to be fair, the permit parking that is in place on Carpenter is basically what you're talking about; parking for area residents only. (Unless you mean an area smaller than zone 7)
Now, the enforcement of that is another matter. On the weekends I see all manner of cars on that street without a zone 7 parking permit, and no PPA personnel to be seen.
One of the tings about parking in that area that @#$% me off is the people who live in the courtyard apartments parking on 5th street when there are parking lots within the complex that are practically empty. One household actually puts cones out on 5th from time to time so they can park right in front of their place. This when there is an empty parking lot about 15 yards away.
Unbelievably lazy
