In cases like the storms we just had, it does take an amount of time and effort to clear a spot (even if it is public roadays) and it would only seem fair that for a limited amount of time a person would be able to claim on the spot for their efforts.

That absolutely kills me. If it's in front of your house that's one thing, but seriously? A public lot? I have to park in the lot on Prospect and people will put chairs in cleaned out spots there.

It is illegal to do so. That's why codes removed the chairs. With another storm coming, feel free to contact the Borough if you see people putting items out. They should remove it again and if possible, issue a citation.
