The Purple Heart parking permit issued hereunder shall authorize the holder thereof to park the motor vehicle for which the permit was issued in those areas specifically designated for Purple Heart recipients.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle in any area designated as Purple Heart parking, unless the vehicle bears a permit issued pursuant to this section.
In accordance with the provisions of this section, the following locations are designated as Purple Heart parking:
One parking space located at Town Hall parking lot;
One parking space located at Yorktown Community & Cultural Center parking lot;
One parking space located at John C. Hart Library parking lot;
