Resident urges action on student parking blocking fire hydrant on Ridge Street
Summary
A resident asked council to address student parking on Ridge Street near the high school that blocks a fire hydrant and creates congestion; council referred the matter to the public-safety committee and will consult first responders.
At the Aug. 17 Emmaus Borough Council meeting, resident Michael Shy raised safety concerns about student parking on Ridge Street between 6th and 7th streets, saying cars park on both sides and sometimes block a fire hydrant.
Shy said he has called the non-emergency police line multiple times about vehicles parked at a hydrant and noted that a $25 citation has not deterred repeat violators. Council members directed the issue to the public-safety committee and asked that first responders examine potential safety priorities and possible ordinance or enforcement changes. Council suggested the police and public-safety committee also review comparable fines and practices used by neighboring municipalities.
