It is the intention of the Borough to create
and develop municipal parking lots to assist, help and alleviate parking
problems that have developed in the retail, commercial and residential
areas in the community and to provide for the safety and convenience
of its citizens to park in all districts.
The following vehicles shall be permitted to
use the municipal parking lots:
A. Automobiles and station wagons;
B. Vans no longer than 18 feet in length;
C. Pickup trucks no longer than 18 feet in length;
E. Delivery trucks no greater than 18 feet in length,
only when making pickups or deliveries at local area properties;
F. Service vehicles no greater than 18 feet in length,
when providing services to properties within a three-block radius
of the municipal lot;
G. Recreational vehicles on a temporary basis after notifying
the Police Department.
The following vehicles shall be prohibited from
using the municipal parking lots:
A. Construction or commercial vehicles, including but
not limited to step vans, dump trucks, tow trucks, rack body trucks,
box trucks, tractor-trailers, bulldozers or pavement rollers, but
excluding pickup trucks and standard-sized vans or minivans;
B. Unlicensed or unregistered vehicles.
The lots hereby established shall be expressly
limited for the use of parking purposes only, and at no time will
automobile repairs, ball playing, loitering, cleaning, washing or
waxing of vehicles or any other type of such activity be permitted
thereon, except for emergency repairs to a vehicle lawfully parked
upon said premises. No vehicle shall be parked in any municipal parking
lot for the purpose of being sold.
In addition to the penalty imposed for the violation
of any of the provisions of this chapter, the Police Department may
cause said vehicle to be removed to such place as designated by the
Chief of Police. The owner or operator of such vehicle so removed
shall pay the reasonable cost and expense of such removal and the
storage which may result therefrom, and any person, firm or corporation
desiring to reclaim such vehicle may do so by paying the penalty and
expenses of such removal and storage.
In addition to any other penalties herein provided, any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon the conviction thereof by the Municipal Court, be punishable as provided in Chapter
