Residential Parking Permits

Residential Parking Permit Program

The primary purpose of residential parking permits is to make every reasonable effort to accommodate residents living in areas of the Township that have a mix of business, office and residential uses which would ordinarily result in parking restrictions that would not occur in a predominately residential area. These restrictions include time limits and other regulations during the hours when businesses are normally open in the areas of the Township where many businesses and other non-residential uses are located.

Residential Parking Permit Area

Unless otherwise prohibited in specified locations or at specified times under Chapter 15, Part 4, of the Township Code, the following streets are designated as residential permit parking areas:

Street Side Time Limit
