No. 2016-11]
This article is adopted pursuant to the authority granted in
the N.J.S.A. 40:48-2 et seq. The purposes of this article are as follows:
A.
To address a critical shortage of on-street parking near train stations
in order to facilitate and make more convenient parking within the
Borough of Wood-Ridge for those persons who reside within the said
municipality near train stations.
B.
To ensure that persons utilizing train service park their vehicles
in designated train station parking facilities rather than on municipal
streets which would deprive residents living on streets in proximity
to train stations of the opportunity to: (1) park their vehicles on
streets near their homes; and/or (2) have their guests and visitors
park their vehicles on streets near their homes.
C.
To control and/or monitor on-street parking on streets in proximity
to train stations in the Borough of Wood-Ridge so that persons regulated
under this article may do so in a safe, efficient and nonhazardous
manner.
A.
Any vehicle parked on a street or part of a street designated by
this article in a location and/or for a duration that violates this
article shall be in violation of a municipal ordinance and shall be
subject to a parking fine in the amount of $20 per offense.
Subject to all provisions of this article, the Borough Police
Department shall have the authority to:
A.
Enforce all provisions of this article and shall be entitled, in
its discretion, to investigate, obtain and verify any information
appropriate to the enforcement of this article.
B.
Issue summonses for violation of this article, pursuant to the provisions
of this article.
C.
Remove and impound vehicles violating this article, pursuant to the
provisions of this article.
D.
Consult with the Borough Administrator and the Borough Department
of Public Works on the design, placement and maintenance of such regulatory
signs necessary to warn the public of the provisions of this article
and effectuate compliance with same.
E.
Monitor parking conditions, patterns and complaints on Borough streets,
both designated and not designated under this article, and recommend
to the Mayor and Council: (1) the inclusion of additional streets
and/or parts of streets to this article; and/or (2) the removal of
streets and/or parts of streets from this article; and/or (3) the
modification of any and all provisions of this article.
A.
The Borough Department of Public Works, under the direction of the
Borough Administrator, shall erect and maintain regulatory signs on
all streets and parts of streets designated in this article so as
to warn the public of the parking restrictions established by this
article and to effectuate compliance with same, except that such signs
are not required to be posted on any side of any part of a street
for which parking is prohibited at all times.
B.
The Borough Police Department may not enforce the provisions of this
article on any part of a street on which a regulatory sign pursuant
to § 232-86 is not posted. This provision shall not prevent
the Borough Police Department from enforcing the provisions of this
article on other parts of a street on which regulatory signs pursuant
to § 232-86 have been posted.
C.
The terms "part(s) of a street" and/or "parts of streets" as used
in this article shall be defined as a segment or segments of a Borough
street that is (are) between two other either intersecting Borough
streets and/or dead-end terminal points and/or combination of the
two. For purposes of example only: parts of Highland Avenue include,
among others, the segments between: 7th Street and 10th Street, 10th
