In 2000, East Rockhill Township instituted a street parking ban on sections of several township roads, including Blue Rock Drive, Boulder Drive, Ridge Run Road, and Stone Edge Road – a ban that was never enforced. Recent complaints about traffic and pedestrian safety prompted the township to send a letter to residents about the parking ban prior to any possible parking ticket enforcement. Several residents in attendance at a recent meeting expressed frustration at the letter, characterizing it as vague, burdensome and unnecessary. Other residents endorsed the parking ban, raising concerns about pedestrian safety and traffic congestion. Pennridge Police Chief Paul Dickinson and the board of supervisors promised to balance resident safety and convenience.
