§ 530-41 Restrictions on parking and storing of large vehicles.

Purpose; title; definitions.

(1)

Purpose.

These hazardous and unsafe traffic conditions create a nuisance, reduce visibility and are detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the residents and others, impede emergency vehicles (including fire trucks, ambulances, etc.) and interfere with the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the residents in their homes and neighborhoods. The Borough Council has determined that the following language shall replace § 530-41 of the ordinances to remediate the foregoing.

(2)

Title. The section shall be renamed to "Restrictions on the parking and storing of large vehicles."

Notification. Upon declaration, the Borough shall issue notification to the public via website, reverse 911 service, email/text alerts, social media, and activation of any flashing light alerts, and post "snow emergency" signage on designated routes, where possible. The Borough will attempt to utilize any means possible to notify the public of a declaration of a snow and ice emergency; however, compliance with a lawful declaration shall be required regardless of notification method utilized.

Snow Emergency Routes. The Borough may adopt by resolution a list of streets that shall be designated as "snow emergency routes", which shall be subject to temporary parking restrictions while a snow and ice emergency is in effect.

Parking prohibited during snow and ice emergency.

Such payment shall be deemed a plea of guilty, waiver of court appearance and acknowledgment of conviction of the alleged offense, and may be accepted in full satisfaction of the prescribed penalty for such alleged violation. Payment of the prescribed fine need not be accepted when laws prescribe that a certain number of such offenses shall require court appearance.

Establishment of schedule.
