Allen Township supervisors say they are prepared to adopt legislation that bans vehicle parking, partially or fully, at intersections.
At their Dec. 8, 2016, meeting, supervisors authorized Solicitor B. Lincoln Treadwell to put the finishing touches on such an ordinance and have it advertised to give it legal notice.
The proposed legislation is expected to come before the five supervisors for a vote at a meeting this month.
There was no dissent by any supervisor during the discussion regarding the expected ban on such vehicle parking, which reports indicate takes place at some of the housing developments in the township and blocks visibility at intersections.
Supervisors Chairman Bruce Frack said enforcement of the ordinance won’t be by the township code enforcement officer but rather by state police.
“I contacted state police, and they are willing to do it,” Frack told The Press.
In other township business, supervisors held a reorganization meeting Jan. 3.
Regarding construction along Willowbrook Road, vehicle traffic is moving smoothly as work continues on the FedEx Ground distribution center. Signage has helped with vehicle traffic movement, according to Supervisor Larry Oberly, who added, though, that one directional sign needs to be relocated, so motorists can see it earlier.
