Parking/Storage

It is determined by the Township of the North Shore that it is in the public interest to regulate the storage and parking of vehicles on public roadways and lands in order to eliminate the risk of liability and to protect persons from injury and property from damage. 

For the purposes of this policy, "vehicle" means any motorized vehicle, campers and trailers.

Therefore the following will be enforced:

No person shall obstruct or park on any municipal roadway under the jurisdiction of the Township, including roadway turnarounds.

No municipal roadways or parking lots will be used for the purposes of greasing or repairing of any vehicle except for such repairs as have been necessitated by an emergency.

No person shall park a vehicle or permit a vehicle to remain parked on municipal property where an area is designated as prohibited by signage.

No person shall park a vehicle or permit a vehicle to remain parked on a municipal roadway or in a municipal parking lot during the winter months of November to March so as to interfere with road maintenance and cleaning operations.

Penalty:

An owner of the vehicle will be liable for any expense incurred if the vehicle is parked in violation of any of the provisions of this policy and has to be removed from the roadway/park.

The Township will not be liable for any damages done by road maintenance equipment to vehicles parked on Township roads/parks or for any damages caused to vehicles due to the towing away and impounding of the same.

An exception to the policy would be cars and single axle trucks to be allowed to park on municipal roads during a short term event.
