This lack of safe infrastructure and this driver behavior is what led to the death of Dr. Barbara Friedes last year on the same street.

These are not isolated incidents.

Absolutely deadly behavior causing another crash on Spruce Street at 5th st early this morning. This is on the busiest bike lane in Philly with over 1,500 riders who use it daily.

We deserve so much better than paint and flexposts, we deserve real protection.
