The following are hereby established as the metered parking
lots operated by the Borough of Brookville:
A. The area located on Jefferson Street, between the former Brookville
Municipal Building and property of the Methodist Church.
The time limits and charges for parking on the said lots shall
be as set from time to time by resolution of the Borough Council;
provided that each parking meter in the said lots shall be in operation,
and the provisions of this chapter regulating such operation and establishing
parking time limits shall be in force between the hours of 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Parking meters installed in the said lots shall be placed immediately
adjacent to the individual parking spaces that shall be marked off
in the said lots. Each parking meter shall be placed or set in such
manner as to show the parking space adjacent to such meter is or is
not legally occupied. Each parking meter installed shall indicate
by a proper legend the legal time established by this article and,
when occupied, shall indicate illegal or overtime parking.
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the various
metered parking lots hereby established, adjacent to each parking
meter, for the purpose of designating the parking space for which
such meter shall be used. Each vehicle parked adjacent to any parking
meter shall be parked within the lines or markings so placed and applicable
to such meter. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article
for any person:
A. To park any vehicle across any such line or marking; or
B. To park any vehicle in such a position that such vehicle shall not
be within the area so designated by such lines or markings; or
C. To park a vehicle elsewhere in any such lot than in an individual
parking space adjacent to a parking meter.
It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in any of the said
parking lots otherwise than with the foremost part of the parked vehicle
nearest to the parking meter applicable thereto.
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any of the said parking lots, at any time during which the parking meters therein shall be in operation, the operator of such vehicle shall, upon entering a parking space adjacent to a parking meter, immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in such parking meter one or more coins of the United States as shall be specified in the legend upon such parking meter. Upon the deposit of such coin or coins, and placing the meter in operation, such parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle for the length of time designated by §
213-39 of this article for parking in the said parking lot upon deposit of such coin or coins. If any vehicle shall remain in any such parking space for such length of time that the meter shall indicate by a proper signal that the lawful parking time shall have expired, such vehicle shall be considered as having been parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this article; provided that every hour that a vehicle shall remain parked at a meter showing a violation shall constitute a separate violation of this article.
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this article, for any
person to deface, tamper with, open or willfully break, destroy or
impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the provisions
of this article; provided that nothing herein shall apply to the servicing
or opening of parking meters by officers, employees and/or peace officers
of the Borough under the direction of the Mayor and/or the Borough
Council.
The metered parking lots hereby established are hereby declared to be for the use of private passenger vehicles only, and it shall be unlawful, and a violation of Article
V of this chapter, for any person to park in any such lot any bus, truck, tractor, trailer, tractor-trailer or commercial vehicle of any kind or nature.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this article shall,
for each and every such violation, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced
to pay the appropriate fine or penalty set forth above and the costs
of prosecution.
