Jim Thorpe Borough Council will hold a meeting Monday night specifically to discuss a proposed permit parking ordinance, which has been in the works for several years.

The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Memorial Hall, along East 10th Street.

A plan to allow parking on West Broadway by permit only on evenings and weekends was tabled by council last month.

The proposed ordinance would have allowed property owners from 5 W. Broadway to 415 W. Broadway to apply annually for up to two parking permits per residence. The permits would have enabled them to park in that neighborhood between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. Monday through Friday, and all day on the weekends and federal holidays, without being ticketed.

Residents, however, questioned things such as why visitor passes were not included and if parking is even an issue on West Broadway in the evenings.

“Ultimately, we need to have more feedback,” Council President Greg Strubinger said last month. “Out of respect for all of the work planning commission did on this, we’ll have a public meeting and then we’ll see where we are at.”

The ordinance, as proposed, allows for West Broadway residents to apply for a permit at the borough office and a renewal must take place each year.

Vehicles without a permit during the times the ordinance is in place would be subject to a ticket.

Fines would be $50 if paid within 48 hours, $60 if paid between 48 hours and five days, and $75 if paid between five and 10 days after the violation.

If the ticket is not paid within 10 days, a citation will take place and the vehicle owner will face a fine of up to $150 plus court costs.

Monday’s session on the parking ordinance will be the first of two Jim Thorpe meetings next week. The borough rescheduled its regular monthly voting meeting from Nov. 12 to Nov. 19.
