Snow Season Tips

The township police apparently decided to start enforcing the 'no street parking during snow clearing times' this year, even though it has been on the books for years.

The only announcement I found about this was not in the township newsletter or on the township website in 2010 but on the township website in 2011 after I heard people complaining about it.

I learned on ItsAmity Talk that it was discussed after the fact at the January crime watch meeting.

At least it was enforced uniformly. The Amity police chief got cited.

Also remember these other points from the township website:

-Do not to put your snow in the road. You can be cited and it creates hazards after they have already cleared the roads.
-Clear your own sidewalks.
-Do not expect reimbursement for a mailbox damaged by the snow plows.
