Temporary No Parking

🚧 Temporary No Parking Notice – Borough-Wide 🚧

As we continue street sweeping and begin the installation of Hometown Hero banners in honor of Memorial Day, temporary No Parking signs will be posted throughout the Borough over the next two weeks or more.

Please be aware:

When a sign is posted indicating “No Parking” with a specified time frame, that restriction is enforceable during those hours.
This is consistent with permanent No Parking signage used nationwide. For example, if a sign states No Parking from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., vehicles may not be parked during that time period—even if a specific date is not listed.

🚗 Failure to move your vehicle may result in a ticket and/or towing. This is not what we want to do, it is what we have to do, to accomplish what needs to be done when people fail to follow the posted notices.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work to keep our streets clean and honor our community’s heroes. Please check posted signs carefully and plan accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding and support!
