still speaking here at city hall. there are two perimeters set up in center city philadelphia, we talked last week about a no traffic zone, within the zone we have two new perimeters that will severely restrict movement in and around center city. the red zone is the secure perimeter, that is an area fenced in around the parkway and around city hall and independence mall, people will only be able to get in and out of that by going through security gates and they will be screened for weapons and all the usual paraphernalia that is not allowed at large events and then outside of that is a secure vehicle perimeter. that is outlined in black and the city is asking everyone that has a vehicle on the streets in that area to remove it by the weekend, it will all start thursday night at 10:00 the

night before the pope's appe appearan appearance. and people cannot drive in the blackout line. the green lines still the no traffic zone, people can drive around and drive around freely but they cannot get back into it once they leave that area. this has a lot of implications for businesses, people are wondering for weeks how to get their employees in and out and get deliveries and supplies, the city is making allowances for that. >> the basic message for businesss try to get your deliveries if you can before that weekend but we are allow for limited deliveries to occur overnight into saturday into the early hours of sunday morning, we are asking businesses to be smart and plan ahead. we'll have limited delivery

capability. >> so some very severe restrictions on the way for center city philadelphia during the pope's visit, we'll have the maps on our website and you'll see exactly where the red zones are located and the no vehicle zones are and get ready for a lot of disruption starting at 10:00 thursday night on september 4th. >> all right david it's click ated for sure. meanwhile across the river, new jersey officials discussed their plans for the papal visit and that includes public transportation and road closures and parking problems and one long walk across the ben franklin bridge, john rawlins continues our coverage from there. >> it seems things are kind of complicated. they are telling people to expect big crowds not only with

>> there are zero parking spots. the thinking is that they will come via the train or charter buses there are 1100 of them coming here. people need to realize they may be returning from their nine mile round trip in the dark. >> bring a flashlight, don't count on the battery in your phone, fully charge your phone and we want you to preverve your charge because you won't find many charging stations. >> reporter: it was estimated if someone was to leave the philadelphia arts area and walk to camden, they would not arrive here until after 10:00 or 11:00 at night, the take away here is that people need to do some real thinking as to whether they have the stamina to walk from camden to philadelphia and back. john rawlins, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. sounds like quite the journey
