[Adopted 4-21-1992 by Ord. No. 92-597]
The Borough Council finds that the lack of enforceable
regulations with regard to parking in fire lanes in parking yards
and parking places which are open to the public in the Borough poses
a potential and substantial threat to the health, safety and welfare
of the public. It is therefore the purpose of the Borough Council,
by this subchapter, to establish fire lanes within such areas of the
municipality to which the public is invited pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.46
and thereby to promote the public health, safety and welfare.
Certain areas shall be designated as fire lanes
to ensure that fire equipment and other emergency vehicles have unobstructed
means of ingress, egress and passage along the fire lanes leading
to certain public and private buildings and facilities and to fire
hydrants, and otherwise in order to aid persons and property in case
of fire or other emergency.
Copies of this subchapter or any amendment thereof
requiring posting of signs or painting of fire lanes shall be mailed
by certified mail or personally delivered to the owners of any affected
properties by the Fire Department. Property owners must install signs
and paint stripes on the pavement within 30 days of such service of
notice.
