Residents seek clarity on World Cup fan festival concerns, including parking

More than 300 people joined a virtual meeting as residents in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia pressed city officials for answers on parking, enforcement, cleanup plans and more ahead of the FIFA World Cup Fan Festival at Lemon Hill.

For 39 days beginning June 11, the festival is expected to draw thousands of visitors from around the world. Some neighbors say they still feel unprepared for the impact.

"I think it's just going to be a very big mess, but I'm hopeful," Fairmount resident Alison Mezzanotte said.

Mezzanotte is among the hundreds of residents who applied for a temporary residential parking permit.
