[Amended 8-8-1988 by Ord. No. 88-4]
A. A parking meter shall be operated by the deposit of one or more coins
in the meter. The parking charge for the maximum parking time permitted
in a metered parking space, as well as the parking charges for specified
periods of parking time less than the maximum shall apply at all times
between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
No parking charge is imposed on Sundays or legal holidays.
B. Except as provided in this §
233-53 and in §§
233-52,
233-57 and
233-58, and except as provided in Article
IV, General Parking Regulations, of this chapter, no maximum parking time in a metered parking space is prescribed.
[Amended 8-8-1988 by Ord. No. 88-4]
A parking meter installed in a metered parking lot referred to in §
233-52 shall be placed upon the curb, pad or sidewalk of the safety barrier, wheel stop or divider for a parking aisle and immediately adjacent to the individual metered parking space to which the meter relates. The parking meter shall indicate (by a legend on the meter) the parking charge for the maximum parking time permitted in the metered parking space to which the meter relates, as well as the parking charges for specified periods of parking time less than the maximum. When one or more coins are deposited in the parking meter so that the meter is placed in operation, a dial and pointer on the meter (or a digital reader or readout on the meter) or the like, shall indicate the parking time thereby permitted in the metered parking space to which the meter relates and, on the expiration of that time, a mechanical "expired" sign, "violation" sign, or the like on the meter shall indicate the fact that the time has expired.
When a vehicle is to be parked in a metered parking space during a time when the metered parking times prescribed by §
233-53 are in effect, it shall be the responsibility of the driver of the vehicle, immediately after parking in the metered parking space, to deposit in the parking meter that number of proper coins of the United States of America which (as specified in the legend on the parking meter) is the parking charge for a particular period of parking time. After the coin or coins have been deposited in the parking meter so that the meter is placed in operation, the vehicle may then be lawfully parked in the metered parking space for the permitted parking time indicated by the dial and pointer on the meter. If the vehicle remains in the metered parking space after the "expired" sign, "violation" sign, or the like on the parking meter shows that the permitted parking time has expired, the vehicle shall be deemed to have been parked overtime. The parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this §
233-56.
[Amended 8-8-1988 by Ord. No. 88-4]
It shall be a violation of this §
233-57 for any person to deposit money (or cause money to be deposited) in a parking meter for the purpose of increasing or extending the parking time of a vehicle in a metered parking space beyond the maximum parking time prescribed by §
233-52. For example, it would be a violation of this section to deposit the coins for the two hours of maximum parking time permitted under §
233-52C and, when the two hours' maximum parking time has expired, to deposit coins for another two hours of maximum parking time. When the maximum parking time permitted by §
233-52 has expired, the vehicle is to be removed from the metered parking space.
[Amended 5-13-1996 by Ord. No. 1996-3]
In addition to the violations referred to in §§
233-38 and
233-39 of this chapter, it shall be a violation of this §
233-58 to do any of the following acts or things in a metered parking lot referred to in §
233-52:
A. Subject to such exceptions as may be made by the Borough Manager
or Council for good cause on a case-by-case basis to park a vehicle
or to allow a vehicle to remain parked in a metered parking lot during
the period between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. on any day of the week.
B. To drive or park any type or class of vehicle which is longer or
wider than a luxury-size passenger automobile.
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit in a parking
meter any slug or other substitute for a coin of the United States
of America.
[Added 5-13-1996 by Ord.
No. 1996-3; amended 9-12-2016 by Ord. No. 2016-6]
A. The Borough Council of the Borough of Lewistown may designate as parking-permit spaces and student parking-permit spaces such number of metered spaces in such areas in a metered parking lot as Borough Council may determine appropriate. A metered parking space designated by Borough Council as a parking-permit space or a student parking-permit space shall be identified as such by a distinctive legend, logo, symbol, color code, or the like fastened or painted on the parking meter, curb, wheel stop, or pavement for the metered parking space designated as a parking-permit space or student parking-permit space. A vehicle conspicuously displaying a currently valid parking permit or student parking permit in the manner directed by Borough Council will be allowed to be parked in the parking-permit space or student parking-permit space without the deposit in the parking meter of the coins required to be deposited by §
233-56 and without the vehicle being required to be moved from the metered parking space under §
233-57 when the maximum parking time permitted by §
233-52 has expired. However, a parking-permit space or a student parking-permit space is not a reserved parking space as such. Rather, it is merely a metered parking space in which a vehicle is allowed to be parked either because the required coins have been deposited in the parking meter or because the vehicle conspicuously displays a currently valid parking permit or student parking permit, as applicable, in the manner directed by Borough Council.
B. Subject to the number of parking-permit spaces available for use, any person may obtain a parking permit under this §
233-63 upon filing an application for a parking permit with the Borough Manager. The application for a parking permit shall be in such form and require the disclosure of such information as the Borough Manager may from time to time prescribe. The fee for the parking permit shall be that monthly, quarterly, annual or other periodic fee prescribed by the Borough Costs and Fees Schedule, and the period of time for which the parking permit is
issued shall be measured by the fee paid for the parking permit. Upon
the expiration of the period of time for which a parking permit was
issued, the parking permit shall automatically become void and invalid.
C. Subject to the number of parking-permit spaces available for use, any person enrolled as a student in a postsecondary school located in the Borough of Lewistown may obtain a student parking permit under this §
233-63 upon filing an application for a student parking permit with the Borough Manager. The application for a student parking permit shall be in such form and require the disclosure of such information as the Borough Manager may from time to time prescribe. The fee for the student parking permit shall be that monthly, quarterly, annual or other periodic fee prescribed by the Borough Costs and Fees Schedule, and the period of time for which the parking permit is
issued shall be measured by the fee paid for the student parking permit.
Upon the expiration of the period of time for which a student parking
permit was issued, the student parking permit shall automatically
become void and invalid.
D. Nothing in this §
233-63 shall be deemed to prohibit the transfer of a parking permit or a student parking permit from one vehicle owned by the person to whom said permit was issued to another vehicle owned by that person; and such a transfer may be made without the permission of the Borough. The person who signed the application for a parking permit or a student parking permit (and thus the one to whom the parking permit or student parking permit was issued) shall bear the risk of loss, destruction or theft of the parking permit or student parking permit, and the Borough shall be under no duty to issue a replacement parking permit or student parking permit for one lost, destroyed or stolen.
