Borough Council at its discretion may provide,
at convenient and suitable locations in any of its parking lots, reserved
parking spaces for handicapped, and shall designate those spaces by
appropriate signs. It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this article,
for any person to park in any such reserved parking space any vehicle,
unless that vehicle bears or displays either a handicapped registration
plate, a handicapped parking placard, a disabled veteran registration
plate, or a disabled veteran placard, provided, all provisions, requirements
and restrictions contained in the other sections of this chapter shall
apply to vehicles lawfully parked in reserved parking spaces for handicapped.
[Amended 7-13-2004 by Ord. No. 2004-6]
The rental parking spaces established by §
259-73 of this chapter shall be for the use of passenger cars, sports utility vehicles, passenger vans, motorcycles and pickup trucks only, and it shall be unlawful for any person to park any other kind or class of vehicle in any such lot.
[Amended 7-13-2004 by Ord. No. 2004-6]
Every vehicle parked in a rental parking space
shall be parked wholly within the lines bounding or marking the parking
space assigned to that vehicle and shall be parked headed into the
parking space. It shall be unlawful for any person:
A. To park a vehicle otherwise than as required by this
section; or
B. To park a vehicle elsewhere than in an individual
parking space, the prohibited areas including, but not limited to,
the access and exit driveways and turning and maneuvering spaces.
Rental parking spaces fee(s) shall be fixed
by the Borough Council Parking Resolution. All rental payments for
parking spaces shall be made to the Borough Treasurer in advance of
use of the space. The space rental will be renewed automatically upon
payment by the renter prior to commencement of the next rental period.
The Borough reserves the right to limit by the Parking Resolution
the number of spaces that may be rented by one individual or business.
At any time, for any reason, the Borough may increase or reduce the
number of rental parking spaces available in off-street lots. A change
that increases the number of spaces will be effective immediately.
A change that reduces the number of spaces will be effective on the
date the next rental payment is due for the space(s). If the number
of spaces is reduced the Borough will make every effort to reassign
spaces on an equitable basis.
[Amended 7-13-2004 by Ord. No. 2004-6; 6-13-2007 by Ord. No.

Parking space assignments are made by the Borough
Treasurer and specific assignments may be changed by the Borough at
any time for its convenience, or for any other reason. The renter
will be issued a placard to be displayed on the dashboard of the parked
vehicle. The placard will indicate the legitimate dates of rental
for that space. It is a violation to park in a reserved or assigned
space not rented by the person parking in said space.
