CAMPAIGN

The most visible and inspirational part of this movement is our UnLitter Us public service campaign. It is meant to give you a voice through the mouths of some of this City’s most gifted urban poets. We asked them to create and perform original poems that express their outrage over litter and their dream of seeing it stopped. Wait till you hear their powerful words and impassioned performances! We believe they will inspire you to keep up the good work and, more importantly, change the attitudes of those who thoughtlessly trash our streets and sidewalks.

UnLitter Us messages will be on TV, radio, the web, and public transit - messages that grab hold and don’t let go. If any voices can turn apathy into action, these voices can. We hope you add yours to the outcry.

Stopping litter is a priority for Mayor Nutter, the Streets Department and the entire Administration. They'll help carry the UnLitter Us banner and reinforce this important movement at every opportunity. With so many powerful voices behind us, yours included, a litter free Philly is in our future.

Don't forget to show your support on your site or blog by posting one of our UnLitter Us partner banners.

15th STREET BRIDGE BETWEEN CALLOWHILL
AND SPRING GARDEN STREETS CLOSURE
Effective Wednesday, January 16

PHILADELPHIA - Effective Wednesday, January 16, the 15th Street Bridge between Callowhill and Spring Garden Streets will be closed to vehicular traffic, Streets Commissioner Clarena I. W. Tolson announced today. The closure is necessary in response to a routine inspection that found structural damage to the bridge.

The closure is effective for the entire length of the bridge and will be closed to vehicular traffic until further notice, however, pedestrians and bicycles will be permitted to cross. The posted detour route includes Broad Street from Spring Garden Street to Callowill Street.

The Streets Department regrets any inconvenience resulting from this closure. We would like to thank citizens in advance for their patience and cooperation. It is our goal to have the bridge opened as soon as possible.
