Huge snowfalls are common in Erie county. This portal is designed to give the government the chance to make the roads safe again without having them congested with excess traffic. If that is ALL it is used for, I support the measure.
The article even states that the local executive has to declare a public emergency.
However, I do expect it to be abused in some fashion.

I respectfully disagree because the authority to impose travel bans will always be abused. Always.
