If approved, the zone would be 100 feet long.
POTTSTOWN PA – There’s a proven need to create a no-parking zone along North Adams Street for the length of 100 feet from its intersection with Buchert Road, according to a recently concluded traffic study conducted by Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township, Manager Rodney Hawthorne has told the Board of Commissioners.
The study, which began after a North Adams Street resident complained about problems maneuvering around cars parked there, shows that vehicles stationed within the zone present a potential traffic hazard that could be avoided by eliminating parking, commissioners learned during their Oct. 4 (2010) meeting.
Hawthorne is writing an ordinance that commissioners would be required to pass to enable the no-parking zone. They seemed willing to support the law. If approved, signs would be erected to identify the zone and Lower Pottsgrove police would be responsible for enforcement.
The board is next scheduled to meet Thursday (Oct. 21) at 7 p.m. in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA. It is unknown whether the ordinance will be ready for the commissioners’ agenda.
