Right now lets check in with first alert traffic reporter jillian mele. Good morning. We continue to follow lane restrictions out of Hopewell Township right now. 95 northbound just past route 31, exit 4. Because of a serious accident that happened in the overnight hours. It was a fatal accident. You can take route 1 if you want to avoid that area but traffic is getting by. You can expect to see slowdowns right as you approach that scene. Heading into pennsylvania, the majors have been quiet all morning. We havent had a single accident on the highways. This is 422 at trooper road the eastbound side. Its still pretty quiet. No significant delays on 422. We do have some volume building on roads like 95 and 76. Lets get a check of your drive times on 76 right now. Which at this point are still pretty average. 76 bo
System to be able to do that. Currently the department of building inspection will allow somebody to go on the city website now and be able to see whether or not we have an open Code Enforcement Case Department wide on a particular address and what the permit activity is. Its my understanding that it doesnt have it yet. Supervisor scott weiner seems to me that its more of a centralization for the information for the department and the public and the ability of the department to know that other departments that should be involved are involved.

Let me give you an example. Section 204 of the housing code talks about Civil Penalties should be considered in such a way that the length and the

We like to see the mall retail from the same way shoe store. We had the discussion with the project spokesperson. We have milling multiple distresses on that fates and it would be divided into smaller spaces we made that flexibility. Equip especially its not showing two doors because any Retail Establishment wants to have the two doors. It requires potentially back the hours corridor in order to allow multiple tenant to a use the space. Id like to see the small adjustment even if its just stashed so show it can happen. Just like sxhopg who helped worked open face tracking Small Business legislation we would liquor to side smaller Tenant Service those reside
