Philly road closures, parking restrictions and public transit for New Year's 2017

Philadelphia will start 2017 with the annual Mummers Parade. The New Year's Day event on Broad Street means road closures and parking restrictions as the brigades set up and strut from City Hall to Washington Avenue. Public transit services also have adjusted schedules in place for the holiday weekend. Throw a Sunday Eagles game into the mix, and some planning might be in order. Here's what you need to know about traffic restrictions and public transportation for Thursday through Sunday.
