[Ord. 1004, 7/6/1994; as amended by Ord. No. 1225, 4/3/2019]
Parking meters shall be operated by the deposit of a coin or
credit card in the meter, as prescribed by § 505, and the
parking rates for specified lengths of time determined by the fee
schedule, shall apply at all times between the hours of 6:00 a.m.
and 10:00 p.m., except Sundays and holidays, and from the Friday following
Thanksgiving until January 2 or January 3 if January 2 is a Sunday
in the parking meter zones listed in § 501.
[Ord. 1004, 7/6/1994; as amended by Ord. No. 1225, 4/3/2019]
Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones established
by § 501 of this Part shall be placed upon the curb or sidewalk,
and immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces described
in § 504 of this Part. Each parking meter shall be placed
or set so as to show that the parking space adjacent to that meter
is or is not legally occupied. Each parking meter installed shall
indicate by a proper legend the legal parking time established by
the Borough; and when the adjacent space is occupied by a vehicle,
the parking meter shall indicate on its display the duration of the
period of legal parking, and, on the expiration of that period, shall
indicate illegal parking or overparking.
[Ord. 1004, 7/6/1994; as amended by Ord. No. 1225, 4/3/2019]
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the curb,
sidewalk or roadway adjacent to each parking meter for the purpose
of delineating the parking space for which that meter shall be used.
Every vehicle parked at any parking meter shall be parked wholly within
the lines or markings so placed and applicable to that meter. It shall
be unlawful and a violation of this Part for any person to park a
vehicle across any such line or marking, or to park a vehicle in such
a position that the vehicle is not wholly within the area designated
by those lines or markings.
[Ord. 1004, 7/6/1994; as amended by Ord. No. 1225, 4/3/2019]
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any space adjacent to
a parking meter, at any time in the period of limited parking as prescribed
in § 502 of this Part, the driver of the vehicle, upon entering
the parking space, shall immediately deposit, or cause to be deposited,
in that parking meter, one or more proper coins of the United States
of America as specified in the legend on the parking meter or by credit
card. Upon the deposit of the coin, coins, or use of credit card,
and placing the meter in operation, the parking space may be lawfully
occupied by the vehicle for the time indicated on the meter. If any
vehicle shall remain in any such parking space for such length of
time that the meter shall indicate by proper signal that the lawful
parking time has expired, that vehicle shall be considered as having
been parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall
be a violation of this Part.
[Ord. 1004, 7/6/1994; as amended by Ord. No. 1225, 4/3/2019]
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit in any parking
meter installed under the provisions of this Part any slug or other
substitute for a coin of the United States of America.
[Ord. 1004, 7/6/1994; as amended by Ord. No. 1225, 4/3/2019]
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this Part, for any
person to permit a vehicle to remain in a parking space adjacent to
a parking meter installed under this Part, when that meter displays
a signal indicating that the vehicle has already been parked there
beyond the period of time prescribed for that parking space, or the
time for which a coin, or coins, was deposited, or by use of credit
card in that meter for the parking of that vehicle.
[Ord. 1004, 7/6/1994; as amended by Ord. No. 1225, 4/3/2019]
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this Part, for any
person to deface, tamper with, open, willfully break, destroy or impair
the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the provisions
of this Part, provided that nothing in this Section shall apply to
the servicing or opening of parking meters by officers, employees
or police officers of the Borough under the direction of the Borough
Manager or Borough Council.
[Ord. 1004, 7/6/1994; as amended by Ord. 1005, 11/2/1994,
§ 1; by Ord. 1064, 3/7/2001; and by Ord. No. 1225, 4/3/2019]
1. It shall be the duty of the police officers and parking enforcement
personnel of the Borough, acting in accordance with the directions

any provision of this Part.
B. The date and hour of the violation.
C. The license number of the vehicle.

understanding of the circumstances attending the violation.
[Ord. 1004, 7/6/1994; as amended by Ord. 1016, 10/4/1995,
§ IV; and by Ord. No. 1225, 4/3/2019]
Any person who violates any provision of this Part, with the
exception of § 508, and who fails to pay the fine set forth
in the fee schedule shall be cited within 30 days of the violation
and, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine established by the
fee schedule. Any violations of § 508 would be subject to the
PA Crimes Code Statutes.
[Ord. 1004, 7/6/1994; as amended by Ord. No. 1225, 4/3/2019]
1. By resolution, the Borough Council may temporarily suspend the provisions
of this Part.
2. The Borough shall have authority to establish no-parking or special-purpose
parking zones within any parking meter zone, and to remove parking
meters from those areas as previously installed there, and the provisions
of this Part shall not apply in those areas where no parking or special-purpose
parking are in effect.
