Notice of the application shall be served on all residents and owners of property within 200 feet of the subject property. The Mayor and Council may issue a permit for the property if it finds that the proposed area shall be sufficient for the intended purpose, that adequate parking is available, that the means of ingress and egress are adequate to prevent a traffic hazard, congestion or excessive interference with normal traffic movement on adjacent public streets and thoroughfares and that the property can be so used without adversely affecting the neighborhood. Any permits so issued shall be restricted to the extent that there shall be no use of any such vehicle on Sundays nor between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. on any weekday, and no vehicle shall be so used within eight feet of the boundary lines of any licensed premises at any time whatsoever. The Mayor and Council may renew any such permits issued to an applicant for continuing nine-month periods upon reapplication by any citizen.

Applicability. A person may park a bicycle on any street, sidewalk or other thoroughfare only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this section.
Prohibited acts. No person may park a bicycle where parking is prohibited or restricted by an official traffic control device; nor shall any bicycle be parked in the Borough where the parking of the bicycle impedes the normal and reasonable movement of pedestrian or other traffic; nor shall any bicycle be parked so as to constitute a hazard to pedestrians, traffic and/or property; nor shall any person park a bicycle on a street or other thoroughfare or on or near any parking lot in such a manner as to obstruct the movement of a legally parked motor vehicle.

At all locations where bicycle racks are provided, in addition to the prohibitions set forth in Subsection B above, no person shall park and/or secure a bicycle near or to any publicly or privately owned tree, fence, pole, post or other property, nor may any person park and/or secure a bicycle where an official control device or any applicable law or ordinance prohibits the parking or securing of bicycles at that location, but instead shall park a bicycle in a bicycle rack.
Any bicycle found to be in violation of this section shall be subject to removal and impoundment by the South River Police Department. It shall be the responsibility of the South River Police Department to hold said impounded bicycle until such time as the lawful owner is located or for a period of at least six months, whichever comes first.

A bicycle rack may not be located directly in front of a store/building entrance or exit or in a driveway.

In the case of seizure of a bicycle because it has been found in the possession of a person not the legal owner thereof, the owner shall be notified of such seizure, provided the name of the owner can be determined. If the bicycle is not reclaimed by the legal owner thereof, it shall be subject to destruction after the expiration of a six-month period that begins on the date of seizure. The destruction of said bicycle shall be in accordance with the policies and procedures for the destruction of found property as established by the South River Police Department.
