Borough Council, at its discretion, may provide at convenient
and suitable locations in one or both of the unmetered parking lots
reserved parking spaces for handicapped and shall designate those
spaces by appropriate signs. It shall be unlawful and a violation
of this article for any person to park in any such reserved parking
space, any vehicle unless that vehicle bears or displays either a
"handicapped registration plate," a "handicapped parking placard,"
a "disabled veteran registration plate" or a "disabled veteran placard,"
provided that all provisions, requirements and restrictions contained
in the other sections of this chapter shall apply to vehicles lawfully
parked in reserved parking spaces for handicapped.
It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle or to
allow a vehicle to remain parked in any unmetered parking lot:
The unmetered parking lots established by § 285-68
of this chapter shall be for the use of passenger cars, passenger
vans and pickup trucks only, and it shall be unlawful for any person
to park any other kind or class of vehicle in any such lot.
Every vehicle parked in an unmetered parking lot shall be parked
wholly within the lines bounding or marking the individual parking
space assigned to that vehicle and shall be parked headed into the
parking space. It shall be unlawful for any person:
A.
To park a vehicle in a space not rented by him;
B.
To park a vehicle otherwise than as required by this section; or
C.
To park a vehicle elsewhere than in an individual parking space,
the prohibited areas including, but not limited to, the access and
exit driveways and turning and maneuvering spaces.
The parking spaces in the unmetered parking lots shall be available
for parking on a monthly rental basis only. The rental fee shall be
fixed by Borough Council from time to time and shall be for a calendar
month or the part of a calendar month remaining after the rental arrangements
are made. The rental fee shall be paid in advance to the Borough Secretary
for the use of the Borough and, after the first month, shall be automatically
renewable until the renter notifies the Borough that he wishes to
terminate the rental arrangements. At any time, however, the Borough
may, by amending § 285-68 of this chapter, discontinue provision
of a specific unmetered parking lot or a portion of the parking spaces
in any such lot or may change any unmetered parking lot or part of
an unmetered parking lot to a metered parking lot or to metered parking
spaces. The rental parking spaces shall be assigned by the Borough
Secretary. The name of the renter of a parking space and/or the numbers
and/or letters on the registration tag of the vehicle entitled to
be parked there shall be posted by the Borough at the rental space
or shall be painted on the surface of that parking space.
A.
The police officer or other person making the report shall also place
on or attach to the vehicle a notice to the owner or driver of the
vehicle that the vehicle was parked in violation of this chapter and
instructing the owner or driver that, if he will report to the office
of the Chief of Police and pay, for the use of the Borough the sum
of $5 within 48 hours after the time of the notice or will place the
sum of $5 enclosed within the envelope provided in any of the special
parking fine boxes installed at various locations within the Borough
of Wilmerding within that time limit, that act will save the violator
from prosecution and from payment of the fine prescribed in Subsection
B hereof.
