Residents ‘getting swarmed’ by illegal ATVs, street bikes prompts emergency meeting with city leaders
PHILADELPHIA (KYW) An emergency meeting was held virtually Wednesday evening to address what community leaders are calling “escalating safety issues” caused by illegal ATVs and street bikes.
“People are scared. They are getting swarmed,” said Eleanor Ingersoll, president of Queen Village Neighbors Association and host of the evening’s forum. “They are going out to eat, they don’t feel safe.”
The immediate need for the discussion was attributed to street chaos that took place on Wednesday, April 28, specifically in the residential areas around South Street, but residents citywide say the disturbance is constant.
