Council adopts ordinance limiting tarp-covered vehicles on public streets to 48 hours
Summary
Ordinance 2025-008 restricts vehicles parked under tarps or other coverings on public streets to 48 hours and clarifies inspection authority for police; council approved unanimously.
The Yeadon Borough Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025-008 on June 12, a measure limiting the amount of time vehicles parked under tarps or other coverings may remain on public streets to 48 hours.
Council discussion described a recent uptick in vehicles kept under tarps on public streets and clarified that police officers would retain the authority to inspect tarp-covered vehicles and require movement for street-cleaning or other maintenance needs.
"This ordinance would limit the time frame that owners are able to park their vehicles on public streets, limited to 48 hours," said a presenting staff member. Councilors approved the ordinance by unanimous roll-call vote.
The ordinance also reminds residents that tarping a vehicle does not exempt it from parking rules or scheduled street maintenance. The measure takes effect as adopted; staff did not raise planned enforcement details beyond routine code procedures.
