Boats on Trailers

Many complaints have been received in recent years about the number of boat and watercraft trailers on the streets during the busy summer months when parking spaces are at a premium.

As a result Borough Council unanimously passed an ordinance restricting the parking of these trailers on residential streets form June 1 through September 30 each year. This restriction applies to boat or watercraft trailers whether attached or not and regardless of whether a boat or watercraft is on the trailer, on any municipal, state or county roadway during this time frame.

In addition anyone who wants to park a boat or watercraft trailer on the street between October 1 and May 31 must “park in front of, and immediately adjacent to the curb or property line of the property owned by the trailer owner, or occupied by the trailer owner as a tenant under a written lease with the owner of the property.”

Signs will be posted at the entrances to the Borough indicating these restrictions and a public awareness campaign will be initiated prior to the tourist season. Information will also appear on the Borough website.
