On April 12, Glenn was killed while riding on Aramingo Avenue near Lehigh.

Glenn Colville was killed by a driver while riding his bike on Aramingo Avenue. He was a father of three. He should have made it home.

Glenn was killed midblock after a driver plowed through plastic flex posts. Paint and plastic are not protection. If hard materials had been utilized for the quick build improvements, this could have been prevented.

Aramingo Ave is a dangerous road; it has appeared on Philadelphia’s High-Injury Network for almost a decade. PennDOT's data shows thirteen Philadelphians have been killed in crashes on this section of Aramingo between 2019 and 2024.  

We’re calling on PennDOT to: 

1. Replace plastic flex posts on the Aramingo bike lane with concrete protection and;

2. Provide funding so the City of Philadelphia can complete its Aramingo Avenue Traffic Safety Projection from Wheatsheaf Lane to Lehigh Ave.  

Please sign this Petition to advocate for these changes!

 

Make Aramingo safe now.
