Council clarifies enforcement of municipal parking ordinance 12-39; signs installed across borough lots
Summary
Officials said Ordinance 12-39 limits types of vehicles allowed in municipal parking lots and restricts after-hours parking; new parking signs reflecting the ordinance have been installed in borough lots.
Council members reported that signs implementing Ordinance 12-39 have been placed in municipal parking lots and explained the ordinances provisions to the public.
During a discussion, Council member Brian Wisco summarized the ordinance: "12:39 states two things. One, it states the limit on what types of vehicles, tractor trailers, RVs, what can be in lots. And the other part is that it limits after hours parking for borough municipal lots." He added that after-hours restrictions mean the public cannot park in municipal lots after borough buildings close (given example: a lot closed at 4:30 p.m.). Council members also confirmed that the restriction applies to tractor units (the tractor or truck) even if the trailer is absent.
Public and council questions focused on where the posted signs applied and how the ordinance affects people using parking for events and trail access. No additional amendments or enforcement actions were taken at the meeting; signs have been installed to reflect the councils previously passed ordinance.
