§ 116-12 Parking prohibited during state of emergency.

Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall be no parking upon the streets where temporary EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs are displayed.

§ 116-13 Snow and ice emergency parking regulations; violations and penalties.

[Amended 10-14-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-13]

Definition of snow/ice emergency. A snow or ice emergency for parking purposes shall be in effect when declared by the Mayor or the Mayor's designee upon the forecast of more than two inches of snow and/or ice upon paved or concrete streets in the Borough of Alpha. Said notice shall be by posting at the Borough Municipal Building, posting on the Borough's website, or by any means of electronic or telephonic media.

Parking in a snow/ice emergency.

In the event of a snow or ice emergency, all motor vehicles shall be removed from the street(s) to driveways or other suitable off-street locations where same are available.

In the event that any off-street parking is unavailable, any affected motor vehicles shall park on only one side of the street. If the snow emergency is declared on an even-numbered date, said parking shall only be permitted on the sides of the streets with even-numbered addresses. If the snow emergency is declared on an odd-numbered date, said parking shall only be permitted on the sides of the streets with odd-numbered addresses. If snow emergency extends beyond one day, parking shall then alternate to the opposite side of the street.

Streets that are designated as "no parking" shall remain as "no parking."

(4)

Streets that are designated as "no parking" on one side of the street only shall have the "no parking" rule on that side relaxed until the snow emergency is over. Vehicles on such streets shall abide by the emergency parking rules as herein referenced in this section.
