EC says cars must be moved
EVANS CITY — Anyone who parks on the designated emergency snow routes in the borough must move their cars Sunday night.
Police Chief Joe McCombs announced that the borough’s snow event ordinance will be observed from 10 p.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday in anticipation of a snowstorm.
McCombs said no parked vehicles are permitted along the streets on the snow route, and police can issue citations or tow vehicles that are not moved.
Those who normally park along the snow route can temporarily park at EDCO Park, church parking lots, or the upper lot at the Evans City Elementary/Middle School during those hours.
“We intend to fully enforce this because of the (predicted) severity of the storm,” McCombs said.
He said cars parked elsewhere temporarily should be moved as soon as possible after 6 a.m. Monday.
McCombs said if cars are not moved from the snow route, public works employees are unable to maintain two cleared lanes and traffic is reduced to one lane.
“It creates a traffic problem,” McCombs said.
The borough’s Swiftreach system, which notifies residents and business owners by text or e-mail of an important occurrence, will be used Sunday afternoon for the snowstorm
These streets are on the snow routes: Wahl Avenue from North Washington Street to Primrose Alley, and South Street from Van Buren Street to South Washington Street;
The entire lengths of these streets also are included: Pattison, Belle, Railroad, Main, North Washington, South Washington, North Jackson, South Jackson, Jefferson, Van Buren and Harrison streets.
The National Weather Service said the storm is expected to dump six inches or more of snow here.
