It's a huge omission and major blunder. Fix the signage now.

Attended American University in the '80s and it burned me up that Philadelphia wasn't on signage (f-Wilmington--it's a 2-bit town, even if it's technically next in line after Baltimore). After all, I95 only bisects only 1 east coast city. The least we can have for that terrible planning blunder that has stymied development and destroyed our waterfront potential is a &@"/; sign as kind of a consolation. Good work. I'm all in!

Im from the Philly area and lived in the DC/Balto area for a long time. Not having Philadelphia on the 95 signs ALWAYS pissed me off. Kudos to you for putting this campaign together.

I am originally from MD but would come up to Philly a lot to visit friends in college. I was always amazed Philadelphia was never listed on a sign. Eventually moving from Baltimore to the philly area (so we were back & forth a lot) every time I drove 95 it just seemed so strange. Thanks for attempting to do something about it!

Always felt disrespected as a Philadelphian for years because of that sign, Nice to see someone trying to do something about it.

Totally disrespectful. Time to put us in our rightful position as the 5th largest city and the birthplace of our country.

I've been driving that corridor for 36 years and always thought it was strange that Philly was not on the signs in Maryland. Let's see it change.

The lack of Philly signs on I-95 has irritated me for years! Thanks for setting up this petition.

We are hub between New York and DC and should get the due respect. What's up with 95 and NJ Turnpike connectivity in Princeton as well?

I have been frustrated by this since visiting friends at Georgetown in 2002-2006.

I Live in Philly & travel to Baltimore & DC frequently & it has always got on my nerves seeing NYC on Signs for I-95 North traveling back home from Baltimore

Philly native here after too long in north Jersey. Philly has been the Rodney Dangerfield of cities as long as I can remember ( I'm 76) and it has peeved me my whole life. This road sign epitomizes this and must be changed.

Philadelphia isn't just the nation's 5th largest city and one of the biggest tourist destinations, but it's the second largest city in all of the eastern US. Bigger than DC, Boston, and Miami. Furthermore, you can't even get to NYC by staying on I-95 north from Baltimore; you have to change highways, otherwise you'll end up at a dead-end in NJ. Listing NYC as the control city instead of Philadelphia on I-95 North signs in Maryland is a disgrace to both our national heritage and our present-day sensibility.

Come on. Phila. is always in the top five list of largest cities and the signs on 95 don't mention how to get there?
