The full story

Hazleton City Council on April 28 adopted Ordinance 2026-8 to create a residential reserved parking permit program. Perry presented the ordinance and Attorney Logsdon described the program's scope: it is intended for areas with limited or no off-street parking, signs will be installed on sidewalks (not on street pavement) and enforcement will be handled by the Hazleton Police Department. Mayor Cusat said the owner must live on the property and noted renters cannot apply directly; one permit is allowed per household and one permit per building for businesses.
