Village of Hoosick Falls Board Action – Snow Emergency Parking Regulations To Be Enforced
by Bea Peterson
At the January 14 Village Board meeting Trustee Bob Ryan brought up the issue of street snow removal. He pointed out that there has been a law on the books since 1989 regarding odd/even street parking in emergency snow conditions. However, it hasn’t been enforced in recent years. He said it isn’t fair to residents, particularly in the fourth and second wards, that they have only one lane of traffic open on their streets because of snow packed around parked cars. And, he added, it would be very difficult for emergency vehicles to make it through many of the streets should they be needed.
