What should the Philadelphia parking and traffic crew brief cover at Center City curb and the Smart Loading Zones?

Start the Center City traffic brief with the permit clock. Philadelphia requires at least ten business days for the cited street-closure or special-event application, and a lane blocked at night or on a weekend also needs a paid police detail.

What goes on the Philadelphia call sheet?

Attach the approved closure, Smart Loading Zone plan, post map, high-visibility requirements, radio channel, pedestrian route, and police or city boundary to the order. If the permit or detail changes, update worker calls before deployment; parking staff should not assume authority over regulated traffic.
