Wake up and move your cars lol

 

The Allentown police and the City of Allentown have taken snow removal to a whole new level. 

On 69 news a woman reported and showed video of the police blasting their sirens and driving with their emergency lights after midnight the other night telling residents over their loud speaker to move their vehicles or they will be towed. 

How are you supposed to sleep with that rolling down your block?

Or this coming down the street

Is this how Mayor Tuerk goes about getting rid of the snow now? He sends out crews after midnight to wake everyone up in this alarming manner when people are trying to sleep. Mind you it has been two weeks since the snow fell and we’re still doing snow removal? How pathetic. Remember the snow removal is mainly downtown.   Your not seeing the streets on the westend or southside having removal. 

Then you have the Allentown parking authority telling people that hey it’s not our fault the snow isn’t removed, that’s the city’s problem. An APA representative  stated the APA doesnt tow your car, a private contractor does.  Okay, but who calls the contracted company, either APA or APD. 

This is becoming such a joke that a major city cannot deal with a foot of snow.  This isnt the 1st time it has ever snowed in Allentown.  This is simple. There is no plan from the city to the citizens on what is going on.

  

However, the residents are partly to blame too. You have people who can’t read signs that say no parking until the snow is removed. That means no parking here until the snow is removed. If you don’t understand that sign, that is not anyone’s problem but your own. And your car should be towed. 

You don’t hear anywhere else around here having these problems. 

I truly hope the next time it snows there is a plan put into place for the citizens.  I wouldn't blame the plow guys either, they are only doing what they are told under the direction of the overpaid public works director.  Sorry Mark, but this mess falls on you and your boss.
