The “North Poles” on North Broad Street are still in search of a contractor to maintain them, more than a year after the city installed the 42 light masts in the center of the corridor.

The non-profit community development group North Broad Renaissance has extended an RFP (request for proposals) for a contractor who can order and install upgraded LED lights for the poles and maintain general upkeep of the 2.5-mile art installation.

The first RFP was issued late last year, with anticipated work set to begin on December 12. North Broad Renaissance has now extended application deadline to January 31, 2017.

Shortly before 1 a.m., a 20-year-old man showed up at Hahnemann University Hospital with three gunshot wounds — in his buttocks, back and jaw. He later told police he was at 8th and Spring Garden streets, between Northern Liberties and Chinatown, when someone opened fire on him. That man was also in critical condition Sunday afternoon.

…police responded to a report of a shooting on the 300 block of North 11th Street. In a house on that block, they found a 16-year-old boy who had been shot in the left calf and right ankle.

The teenager told police a masked man had chased him, firing a gun. He refused to tell the officers anything else, police said.

No arrests had been made, and police had not determined a motive in the case. They described the shooter as a thin black male between 16 and 18 years old, standing 6 feet to 6 feet 1 inch tall, wearing a light-gray hooded sweatshirt and a black ski mask.

Anyone with information on the case can call Central Detectives at 215-686-3093.
