Any parade, march, ceremony, show, exhibition, pageant or procession of any kind, or any similar display in or upon any street, park or other public place in the borough.
No person shall engage in, participate in, aid, form or start any parade unless a parade permit shall have been obtained from the Chief of Police, provided that this chapter shall not apply to funeral processions; students going to and from school classes or participating in educational activities under the immediate direction and supervision of the proper school authorities; or a governmental agency acting within the scope of its functions.
If the parade is proposed to be conducted for, on behalf of, or by an organization, the name, address and telephone number of the headquarters of the organization, and of the authorized and responsible heads of such organization.
The approximate number of persons who, and animals and vehicles which, will constitute such parade; the type of animals, and description of the vehicles.
The hours when the parade will start and terminate.
If the parade is designed to be held by, and on behalf of or for, any person other than the applicant, the applicant for such permit shall file with the Chief of Police a communication in writing from the person proposing to hold the parade, authorizing the applicant to apply for the permit on his behalf.
Any additional information which the Chief of Police shall find reasonably necessary to a fair determination as to whether a permit should be issued.
The conduct of the parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of police officers of the borough to properly police the line of movement and the areas contiguous thereto as to prevent normal police protection to the borough.
The conduct of the parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of ambulances as to prevent normal ambulance service to portions of the borough other than that to be occupied by the proposed line of march and areas contiguous thereto.
The conduct of the parade will not interfere with the movement of fire-fighting equipment en route to a fire.
The Chief of Police shall act upon the application for a parade permit within 10 days after the filing thereof. If the Chief of Police disapproves the application, he shall mail to the applicant within 10 days after the date upon which the application was filed a notice of his action, stating the reasons for his denial of the permit.
Any person aggrieved shall have the right to appeal the denial of a parade permit to the Borough Council. The appeal shall be taken within five days after notice. The Borough Council shall act upon the appeal within two days after its receipt.
The Chief of Police, in denying an application for a parade permit, shall be empowered to authorize the conduct of the parade on a date, at a time, or over a route different from that named by the applicant. An applicant desiring to accept an alternate permit shall, within five days after notice of the action of the Chief of Police, file a written notice of acceptance with the Chief of Police. An alternate parade permit shall conform to the requirements of, and shall have the effect of a parade permit under this chapter.
Immediately upon the issuance of a parade permit, the Chief of Police shall send a copy thereof to the Mayor, Borough Attorney, Fire Chief, postmaster and general manager or responsible head of each transportation utility, the regular routes of whose vehicles will be affected by the route of the proposed parade.
A permittee shall comply with all permit directions and conditions and with all applicable laws and ordinances.
The parade chairman or other person heading or leading the activity shall carry the parade permit upon his person during the conduct of the parade.
No person shall unreasonably hamper, obstruct or impede, or interfere with any parade or parade assembly or with any person, vehicle or animal participating or used in a parade.
No driver of a vehicle, street car or trackless trolley shall drive between the vehicles or persons comprising a parade when such vehicles or persons are in motion and are conspicuously designated as a parade.
The Chief of Police shall have the authority, when necessary, to prohibit or restrict the parking of vehicles along a highway or part thereof constituting a part of the route of a parade. The Chief of Police shall post signs to such effect, and it shall be unlawful for any person to park or leave unattended any vehicle in violation thereof. No person shall be liable for parking on a street unposted in violation of this chapter.
The Chief of Police shall have the authority to revoke a parade permit issued hereunder upon application of the standards for issuance as herein set forth.
