The amendment also added that motorists must payfor parking on certain streets on either side of Central Avenue during specific hours.
Beginning May 15 and lasting until the last Sunday in October annually, “It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of a vehicle to cause, allow, permit or suffer any such vehicle to remain in a parking space on the streets or areas… west of Central Avenue, between the hours of 9a.m. and 3a.m., inclusive, and east of Central Avenue, between the hours of 9a.m. and 1a.m., inclusive, without first having paid the requisite fee at a centralized payment station or by mobile parking app. No vehicle shall be permitted to remain in a parking space during said hours beyond the period of time covered by the payment of the appropriate fee.”
