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.
