Council presses sidewalk snow removal enforcement and flags PennDOT coordination
Summary
Council discussed repeating sidewalk snow-removal violations and parking on Main Street after heavy snow, noting Main Street is a PennDOT road and that any local ordinance would require coordination with PennDOT.
The council reported that a letter had been posted on a resident’s door for failing to clear sidewalks after snow, and members said there are additional violators they will continue to pursue. Keith Erdley raised concerns about parking along Main Street after large snow events and suggested hauling snow out as a longer-term fix; members noted that Main Street is maintained by PennDOT and that establishing a municipal snow ordinance would require contacting PennDOT.
Council discussed hopes to obtain a maintenance shed and equipment to handle snow in the future, subject to resolving siting constraints discussed elsewhere in the meeting. The minutes show the council is aware of the legal and logistical limit imposed by PennDOT's jurisdiction over Main Street when considering enforcement or new equipment placement.
