A. 
The streets of Carlisle were, for the most part, not built with the intention of allowing parking along the sides. Most streets were built before the advent of motor vehicles, a day when most people either walked or moved about by horse or horse and buggy. Needless to say, those horses and buggies were not stored on the street for long periods of time.
B. 
As a courtesy, with the growth of the automobile, municipalities have allowed parking on streets. At all times, however, regulation of that parking has remained within the powers of those municipalities. The right of such regulation has never been successfully challenged.
C. 
As the years passed, the necessity for the automobile grew. In recent years, the auto has been looked upon as one item that each family had to own; in the last decade, many families have operated with more than one vehicle.
D. 
In Carlisle, this condition has been heightened by the growth of apartment houses, the downtown business section and county government and related professional offices without provision for the necessary parking by the great number of cars brought in by this growth.
E. 
The situation has reached the point where Borough residents are unable in many parts of town to find parking near their homes (most of these people do not have garages and lack enough yardage to construct parking). This most seriously affects our senior citizens who are unable to carry on their routine business for fear of losing parking that they do have or of not finding parking upon their return.
F. 
With all of this in mind, this article is designed to increase the quality of life in the Borough's older, crowded sections and to preserve the safety of children and other pedestrians and to promote traffic safety and the peace, good order, comfort, convenience and welfare of the inhabitants of the Borough.
G. 
This article is also designed to effect the balance in the availability of parking for both residents and the general public in blocks containing a mix of businesses, professional offices and residences. In order to attain this objective, the Borough Council has deemed it appropriate to place a limit on the number of residential parking permits to be issued in those blocks.
