When any vehicle shall be parked in any space adjacent to which a parking meter is located in accordance with the provisions of this article, the operator thereof shall, upon entering such parking space during the time of limited parking, immediately deposit a coin or combination of coins of the United States in such parking meter and operate the same according to the instructions thereon. Failure to do so shall constitute a violation of this article. Each $0.25 (a quarter) deposited, will allow 30 minutes of parking up to a maximum of two hours. Any vehicle parked in a space during the times specified in § 223-29 above, in which the meter shows that the parking time has expired shall be in violation of the article and subject to the penalties and fines specified in this chapter. It is noted that council from time to time by resolution can alter the charge and duration to parking, as well as the cost of a parking permit. Also, it is noted that there is no fee to park a motor vehicle in a Borough Municipal Parking lot. In addition as an option to placing coins in the meter to purchase parking time, an parking permit may be purchased as herein set forth for the use of parking meters on Route 11 anywhere along the metered district on Main Street, so long as the permit is displayed as set forth in § 223-29 above and the vehicle is parked at a meter. The permit shall be limited to one household or business that has an address on Route 11 on Main Street in the metered parking district. The permit will be issued on a yearly basis and shall be valid from first day of January of each year and expire on the thirty-first day of December of each year. The cost of a yearly permit shall be $150 if purchased on or before January 1 through May 31 of each year and $75 if purchased on or after June 1 through December 31 of each current year. The permit will be good for use only in the Route 11 Main Street metered district and will allow parking at a meter and in no other zone.
It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle across any line or
marking designating a parking space or to park said vehicle in any
way that the same shall not be wholly within a parking space as designated
by said lines or markings.
It shall be unlawful to deposit or cause to be deposited in
any parking meter a slug, device or substitute for a coin of the United
States.
It shall be unlawful for any person to deface, tamper with,
damage, open or willfully break, destroy or impair the usefulness
of any parking meter installed under the terms of this article.
