PARKING TICKETS

Why did I receive this summons:
Most of the Parking tickets written from November to March involve Alternate side parking (or odd/even parking).  Alternate Side Parking is defined in our Village Code as follows:
[Amended 4-18-1996 by L.L. No. 5-1996]
In addition to the restrictions and prohibitions on parking otherwise provided and except where parking is prohibited for a full block on one side of the street, no vehicle shall be parked or remain parked on any public street between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., inclusive, during the months of November, December, January, February and March, except on days with even numbers, according to the calendar, when vehicles may be parked on the side of the street on which the buildings bear even numbers, and on days with odd numbers, according to the calendar, when vehicles may be parked on the side of the street on which the buildings bear odd numbers. Exceptions to alternate sides parking provisions are set forth in Schedule XXII (§ 209-62), attached to and made a part of this Part 1.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

BASKETBALL HOOPS OBSTRUCTING VILLAGE STREETS

 

As the Spring months are finally upon us, we thought it prudent to provide the following reminder regarding the placement of basketball hoops in and around the Village Streets in the Village of Elmira Heights.

Please be advised that Article III of the Village of Elmira Heights Code of Ordinances (sections 194-9 and 194-10) prohibits playing in the Village streets or obstructing the Village streets in any way. This prohibition includes the placement of basketball hoops either in the roadway, or at the edge of the roadway for play within the road.

Please remove any and all obstructions, including basketball hoops, from the roadway on or before April 24, 2023. Thereafter, Code Enforcement will be required to enforce the above law, and issues citations for anyone in violation. Violations of this Article include fines up to $250 per day.

This law is necessary for the safety of our residents, the flow of traffic, and the unobstructed operation of emergency vehicles on the Village Streets.

If you have any questions regarding this, please contact the Code Enforcement Department.

Thank you.
