Public Works will investigate whether changes to on-street parking are needed or desired. If changes are needed for roadway operational or safety purposes, work will be scheduled for implementation. If the changes are desired by the adjacent property owners, a petition signed by all of the adjacent property owners will be required before any work is considered. The petition must be signed by representatives of contiguous properties, including at least one corner lot.
The State law requires any vehicle stopped or parked on any public street to be facing the flow of traffic. This violation occurs more often while parked in front of your residence. In addition, the following is a partial listing of where it is illegal to park:
- in an intersection, on a sidewalk, crosswalk (marked or unmarked), or railroad track;
- in front of any driveway;
- within 15 ft of a fire hydrant;
- within 20 ft of a crosswalk (marked or unmarked);
- within 30 ft of a yield sign, stop sign, or traffic signal;
- double parking on a street.
Parking enforcement issues should be rerouted to the Police Department or the Parking Enforcement Division with the Center City Development Office. Signs typically will not be installed for universally recognized conditions where parking is understood to be prohibited such as around fire hydrants, railroad tracks, driveways, STOP signs and crosswalks, etc. This service request will be investigated within 30 working days.
