Resident William Ginder wanted the township to remove, by towing, the numerous vehicles a local resident of Allen Street has parked on various streets in Ginder’s neighborhood. Some of the streets with objectionable vehicles include Winfield Street, James Street, John Street and Raymond Street.
He addressed the Upper Milford Township Supervisors May 2 at their regular meeting.
Ginder said a Pennsylvania State Trooper had come to the scene at Ginder’s request and assured him that, “It’s not up to the police to do the towing.”
He suggested the township tow the vehicles and then recoup the expenses via fines when current legal procedures are completed.
“That’s not the way it works,” Upper Milford Township Attorney Marc Fisher said. “It’s being handled.”
Fisher said the process is hard to see, but urged patience.
Ginder had addressed the supervisors about the problem at the April 18 meeting.
