Philadelphia – Several Center City Streets are scheduled for resurfacing beginning midnight Saturday, August 14 through noon Saturday, August 14 announced Streets Commissioner Carlton Williams.

To complete the work, residents should expect some parking restrictions. Temporary “No Parking” signs will be posted in advance of the scheduled activity.
