Whenever any vehicle shall be found stalled, stuck, parked or
abandoned on any Borough street designated and posted as a snow emergency
route in such a manner as to obstruct or impede traffic or hinder
snow removal or cindering operations when either snow emergency plan
is in effect, the vehicle may be removed, at the owner’s expense,
to an area designated by the Borough Manager. Such vehicle may be
removed only by persons authorized by the Borough Manager. Such persons,
so designated, shall notify the Chief of Police immediately following
such removal. Such authorized persons shall give the type of vehicle,
the license tag number, the place of removal, the time of removal,
the cause of removal, the place to which the vehicle was removed and
such other information as required. The Chief of Police shall attempt
to notify the owner of such vehicle, as soon as it is reasonably possible,
of the removal and location of the vehicle.
