[Adopted 4-8-2010]
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that plowing
and/or snow removal will be required by the Borough, an emergency
is deemed to exist and no vehicles shall be parked on any street or
highway within the Borough. Such parking prohibition shall remain
in effect after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed
sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with
the normal flow of traffic.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this
article shall be deemed a nuisance to the safe and proper regulation
of traffic and any police officer may provide for the removal of such
vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of such removal
and storage before regaining possession of the vehicle.
Signs bearing the legend "NO PARKING WHEN ROADS ARE SNOW COVERED"
are authorized to be posted under the supervision of the Borough Engineer.
Any person who violates any provision of this article shall,
upon conviction thereof, be punished with a fine of not more than
$100 or imprisonment for a term not to exceed 15 days or both.
All other provisions of this chapter which are not affected
by this amendatory article are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall
remain in full force and effect. However, all ordinances or parts
of ordinances, which are inconsistent with the provisions of this
amendatory article are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency.
If any portion of this article is adjudged unconstitutional
or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall
not affect or invalidate the remainder of this article, but shall
be confined in its effect to the provision directly involved in the
controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
This article shall take effect after final passage and publication
as required by law.
