[Amended 7-16-2013 by Ord. No. 1427]
The use of municipal parking lots has been abused in the past by vehicles being parked there for days at a time and by people sleeping through the night in vehicles parking thereon in violation of Borough ordinances. It appears to be in the best interest of the Borough that motor vehicles should not be permitted to park on unmetered municipal parking lots between the hours of 2:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., except at the designated area in the Borough Marina parking lot.
[Amended 7-16-2013 by Ord. No. 1427]
The parking of motor vehicles on unmetered municipal parking lots and other unmetered municipally operated property between the hours 2:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. is prohibited, except at the designated area in the Borough Marina parking lot. Some of the municipal parking lots are metered and some are unmetered, and when an unmetered parking lot becomes metered, this prohibition shall not be applicable thereto. The Borough-operated parking lots (metered and unmetered) are as follows:
