[Added 8-16-2005 by Ord. No. 885]
A. Legislative intent. The Council of the Borough of
Monaca has determined that hazardous and unsafe traffic conditions
within the municipal limits of the Borough exist because large vehicles
are often parked on streets in the Borough. These hazardous and unsafe
traffic conditions are detrimental to the public health, safety and
welfare of the residents of the Borough of Monaca and others, impede
emergency vehicles (including fire trucks, ambulances, etc.) and interfere
with the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the residents of the Borough
of Monaca in their homes and neighborhoods. The Council has determined
that the adoption of this section is necessary to remediate the foregoing.
