A party seeking a designated accessible parking space shall
make application to the Parking Department at Borough Hall and shall
document the need for a designated on-street space due to inadequate
off-street parking serving the property and a physical disability
that limits or impairs the ability to walk. Documentation of the disability
shall be in the form of a handicapped registration plate, a handicapped
parking placard, a disabled veteran registration plate, or a disabled
veteran placard.
(2)
Any such request shall be reviewed by the Borough Public Works
Department to ensure that creation of such space will not create negative
impacts in terms of neighborhood parking or traffic flow and that
off-street parking on the applicant's property does not adequately
meet his/her needs for access to the property. The Public Works Director
shall report the results of this review to the Parking Department
and Borough Manager for review.
(3)
If the Public Works Director and Borough Manager are in support
of the request for a designated on-street parking space, the Borough
Manager shall make a recommendation to that effect to Borough Council.
Borough Council shall consider such recommendation and, if approved,
adopt a resolution establishing and designating the area exclusively
reserved for parking by handicapped individuals. Any approved space
shall be designated by signage and/or pavement marking.
(4)
The information provided on the application for designated accessible
parking space shall be updated by the applicant on or before January
30 each year after issuance of the designated space.
C.
Any person who violates this section by unlawfully parking in an
accessible parking space shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay
a fine of $100, plus costs.
