Residents raise parking and safety concerns in Amherst Village at Adams Township meeting
Summary
Residents of Amherst Village told the Adams Township Board of Supervisors on April 27 that on‑street parking, construction vehicles and speeding are creating safety problems for buses, emergency vehicles and pedestrians; the board took no formal action at the meeting.
At the April 27 meeting of the Adams Township Board of Supervisors, multiple Amherst Village residents used the public‑comment period to urge the township to address on‑street parking, construction traffic and speeding.
Michelle Bushee, of 6006 Ruby Way, said on‑street parking in Amherst Village creates risks for school buses and emergency vehicles and also voiced concern about costs to the homeowners association related to the community clubhouse. Brenda Kolowski, of 2014 Shelly Lane, said construction vehicles and parked cars make sidewalks unsafe for her daughter. Chris Lobozzo, of 529 Black Rock, asked the board to retain on‑street parking because his driveway does not hold cars when he has guests. Mike Elmer, of 1020 Whistler Way, reported that speeding is a problem in the neighborhood. The meeting record shows no formal board action on these concerns.
Two candidates for the state House, Scott Timko and Ethan Nicholas, also introduced themselves during public comment and spoke briefly about their campaigns.
The comments drew attention to three practical issues — emergency‑vehicle access, pedestrian safety for children and the financial burden on the homeowners association — but the board did not take any votes or make directions on traffic calming or parking policy during the session. The agenda moved on to routine approvals and land‑use items after public comment.
