Description

A newspaper vendor is selling the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News from a portable news vending stand in the middle of Germantown Ave. between Bethlehem Pike and Evergreen Ave. He is usually there in the morning at 8am until about 10am. He has also posted advertisements to the utility poles and light standards along the 8600 block of Germantown Ave. This is clearly a traffic hazard. The man stands in middle of the street during some of the busiest traffic times of the day. The ads that he has posted and secured with plastic tie string are a violation of the city's ordinance which prohibit "bandit signs" or "Street Spam."
