The bill now heads to the desk of Mayor Jim Kenney, who has for years endorsed supervised drug consumption sites as a strategy to prevent overdose deaths.
whose Kensington-based district is home to one of the nation’s largest open-air drug markets, drafted the legislation. It updates the zoning code to designate supervised drug consumption sites as a prohibited use in nine of the city’s 10 Council districts.
Four other Council members — all Democrats — stood alongside Lozada Thursday morning to express support for her legislation. Mike Driscoll, who represents parts of Northeast Philadelphia and the Riverwards, said his constituents don’t want a supervised drug consumption site in their neighborhood, “no way, no how.”
The only district not included in the legislation is West Philadelphia’s 3rd District, which stretches from University City to Cobbs Creek. Because Council adheres to acalled councilmanic prerogative, each district Council member could opt to include his or her district in the zoning change.
