The City Council, at its discretion, may provide, at convenient
and suitable locations in one or more of the unmetered 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
article shall apply to vehicles lawfully parked in reserved parking
spaces for handicapped.
It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle or to
allow a vehicle to remain parked in any unmetered parking lot:
The unmetered parking lots established by § 380-67 shall be for the use of passenger cars, passenger vans 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.
Every vehicle parked in an unmetered parking lot shall be parked
wholly within the lines bounding or marking the individual 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 in a space not rented by him.
B.
To park a vehicle otherwise than as required by this section.
C.
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.
The parking spaces in the unmetered parking lots shall be available for parking on a monthly rental basis only. The rental fee shall be fixed by the City Council by resolution and shall be for a calendar month or the part of a calendar month remaining after the rental arrangements are made. The rental fee shall be paid in advance to the Police Department for the use of the City, and after the first month shall be automatically renewable until the renter notifies the City that he wishes to terminate the rental arrangements. At any time, however, the City may, by amending § 380-67, discontinue provision of a specific unmetered parking lot or a portion of the parking spaces in any such lot, or may change any unmetered parking lot, or part of an unmetered parking lot, to a metered parking lot or to metered parking spaces. The rental parking spaces shall be assigned by the Police Department. The name of the renter of a parking space and/or the numbers and/or letters on the registration tag of the vehicle entitled to be parked there shall be posted by the City at the rental space or shall be painted on the surface of that parking space.
Lock Haven City Council will grant free parking in the off-street
municipal parking lots starting the day after Thanksgiving until the
day after New Year's Day. Exception: The municipal parking lots located
on Water Street (Lot Nos. 5 and 6) near the levee system shall be
exempted from this provision.
A.
Any person who violates any provision of this article shall, upon
conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $15 and costs.
Provided, it shall be the duty of the police officers and of parking
enforcement personnel of the City to report to the appropriate official
all violations of any provision of this article, indicating, in each
case, the section violated; the license number of the vehicle involved
in the violation; the location where the violation took place; and
any other facts that might be necessary in order to secure a clear
understanding of the circumstances attending the violation. The police
officer or other person making the report shall also attach to or
place upon every such vehicle a notice stating that the vehicle was
parked in violation of this article. The notice shall contain instructions
to the owner or driver of the vehicle that he may pay this by placing
the amount in the fine envelope and depositing it in any of the yellow
Traf-O-Teria courtesy boxes or by paying at City Hall between 8:00
a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (except holidays), or by
placing a stamp on the reverse side and mailing using address indicated.
