[Ord. 1104-90, 9/13/1990]
The Borough finds that:
A.
Certain residential areas in the Borough are subject to commuter
and student vehicle parking, thereby depriving the residents of those
areas of spaces in which to park their own vehicles.
B.
The establishment of a parking permit program for certain affected
residential areas should facilitate efficient movement of traffic
by providing for parking preference. Therefore, the Borough considers
it to be in the interest of the people of the Borough to provide for
the establishment of a residential permit parking program to insure
primary access to available parking spaces by neighborhood residents.

It is the intention of Borough Council to study the operation of this Part for a period of six months. After March 1, 1991, Borough Council will consider petitions by persons residing abutting portions of streets not set forth in § 15-1003 above, not having parking meters, and on which parking of motor vehicles is otherwise allowed, seeking to have such portions of those streets made subject to this Part, and will also consider petitions by residents to have the portion of the streets set forth in § 15-1003 above deleted from this Part. Any such petition should be signed by adult persons representing a majority of the dwelling units abutting the portion of the street sought to be added, or deleted, from this Part 10. Notwithstanding the aforesaid petition process, the Borough Council also may, on its own initiative, designate additional streets or portions thereof as residential parking permit streets and may also delete any streets or portions of streets as residential parking permit streets.
[Ord. 1104-90, 9/13/1990]

currently issued sells or otherwise disposes of the motor vehicle
for which that permit has been issued, such person shall remove from
the motor vehicle any decal, permit or any such indicia of a permit
affixed to the motor vehicle and shall return the same to the Borough
Parking Department. If such person replaces that motor vehicle with
another during the then-current period or term of such permit, the
Parking Department shall, on application therefor, issue a replacement
decal or permit of the same type for that motor vehicle for the remainder
of the permit period without a new application fee being paid to the
Borough.

Any person who violates any provision of this Part 10, or any person who aids, abets or assists in the violation thereof, shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $40 and costs, provided, however, that it shall be the duty of the police officers and parking enforcement personnel of the Borough to report all parking violations of this Part 10 indicating in each case the Section violated, the license number of the vehicle involved in the violation, the location where the violation took place, and any other facts that might be necessary in order to secure a clear understanding of the circumstances attending the violation.
2.
Any person
violating the provisions and regulations in this Part 10 by parking
in a reserved area or space for exclusive use by a person or persons
