What
happened: Parking along Main Street in Akron can be tight at the best of times, but in snow it becomes downright hazardous. That situation, and ways of easing it, was an issue officials discussed during the meeting.
At issue: Justin Gehman said residents are not properly clearing parking spaces and in some places âtheyâre parking four feet on this side of the curbâ with snow banks between their cars and the sidewalk. He said at least one vehicle he saw had been struck and was âmissing a mirror.â He suggested making Main Street a snow emergency route at least from Route 272 to Diamond Street. The westbound lane is wider, he added, but the eastbound lane is the problem.
