Basketball Hoops that border Town Roads

Please be aware that in accordance with Townsend General Bylaws, Article II Section 8, all basketball hoops bordering Town ways must be removed from November 30 until April 1.  A fine of twenty ($20.00) dollars will be imposed on the owner if the basketball hoop is not removed.  These hoops are hard for snowplow drivers to see when it is snowing or dark, and are capable of snagging the plow trucks.  In the event this happens and damage is caused to the vehicle, the hoop owner may be held responsible for the damage.  So PLEASE take the time to remove your basketball hoop from protruding into the right-of-way, including the part that hangs over the road.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated
