After any snow fall of three inches or more, parking shall be
restricted as hereinafter specified. It will be unlawful for any person
to park a motor vehicle, as defined under the Motor Vehicle Code of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, contrary to the regulations hereinafter
specified. On the first day after a snowfall of three inches or more,
between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., no motor vehicle shall
be parked on the even numbered side of the street to facilitate cleaning
up snow. The following day, motor vehicle parking shall be prohibited
on the odd numbered side of the streets, which will be designated
as "No Parking Zones" for the purpose of cleaning snow. Vehicles not
removed on designated days for snow removal as stated above, will
be ticketed and towed at owners' expense. Due to the narrowness
of Turner Street, no parking will be allowed on the odd numbered side
of the street during any period of snow and 24 hours thereafter.
All streets designated as snow emergency routes must be posted
with snow emergency route signs.
The fine for violation of this chapter will be $50 for each
occurrence.
Vehicles that are towed are subject to a towing fee and in addition
storage fees may be charged.
