Whenever there is snow covering on the
streets or highways in the Borough, in the discretion of the Superintendent
of Public Works or his designee, the following prohibitions will take
effect:
a.
Parking of all vehicles on the south side of the street
on any street which runs east and west is prohibited until after the
snow has stopped and the street has been plowed; then, after the snow
has stopped and the south side of the street has been plowed, park
the vehicles on the south side of the street on any street which runs
east and west until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and
to the extent that parking will not interfere with normal flow of
traffic.
b.
Parking of all vehicles on the east side of the street
on any street which runs north and south is prohibited until after
the snow has stopped and the street has been plowed; then, after the
snow has stopped and the east side of the street has been plowed,
park the vehicles on the east side of the street on any street which
runs north and south until the streets have been plowed sufficiently
and to the extent that parking will not interfere with normal flow
of traffic.
c.
Any vehicle parked in violation or abandoned on a
public street shall be deemed to be a nuisance and a menace to public
safety and any public safety officer may provide for the removal of
such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of removal
and storage of a vehicle before redeeming possession thereof.
d.
This parking prohibition shall remain in effect until
after the snow has ceased and the streets have been plowed for the
full width as well as until parking will not interfere with the normal
flow of traffic.
e.
During a snow emergency, if off-street parking is
available, any vehicle shall not be parked on any street.
f.
Any owner or owners, occupant or occupants, tenant
or tenants, building superintendent, rental agent or person in charge
of premises abutting or bordering upon any public street in the Borough
shall remove all snow and ice from the abutting sidewalks of such
streets, or in the case of ice which may be so frozen as to make removal
impracticable, shall cause the same to be thoroughly covered with
sand or ashes, within 24 hours of daylight after the same shall fall
or be formed thereon.
9-11.2
This section shall not apply to either
Main Street or Ocean Avenue as to parking of vehicles. However, the
regulations regarding sidewalks shall apply.
9-11.3
The penalty provisions of § 9-10
shall apply to a violation of this ordinance. In addition, the Police
Department shall have the option of towing any vehicle in violation
at the owner's expense.
9-11.4
Removal costs. In addition to the provision
for penalties herein made for violations of this section, and in case
such snow or ice shall not be removed from such sidewalks by the owner
or owners, tenant or tenants, occupant or occupants, building superintendent,
rental agent or person in change of any premises, as provided in Subsection
9-11.1F, the same shall be removed forthwith and under the direction
of the Supervisor of Streets, and the cost of such removal as nearly
as can be ascertained shall be certified by the Supervisor of Streets
to the governing body. The governing body shall examine such certification
and, if found to be correct, shall cause such cost to be charged against
such real estate so abutting or bordering upon such sidewalk or street,
and the amount so charged shall forthwith become a lien and a tax
upon such real estate or land and be added to, recorded and collected
in the same manner as the taxes next to be levied and assessed upon
such premises and shall bear interest and be enforced and collected
by the same officers and in the same manner as other taxes.
9-11.5
Depositing snow on street restricted.
No person, firm or corporation, the owner, tenant or occupant of any
premises abutting on any street shall throw, place or deposit any
snow or ice into or on any street in the Borough, it being the intent
and purpose of this provision to prohibit all such persons from throwing,
casting, placing or depositing snow and ice which accumulated on the
private property abutting the street or sidewalk on the sidewalks
or streets of the Borough.
