So what do we have now, a whole street closed. What happened? Seems so Philly like--attempt to make a change in one direction for the better and end up making a change for the worse by going in the opposite direction.

There seems to have been virtually no enforcement. It's particularly bad on 12th Street. Walking down 12th from Market to Spruce, you're forced to hopscotch back and forth several times due to sidewalk closures with no pedestrian walkways at Jefferson's new tower, The Jessup, and 204 S 12th.
