Glen Rock
At last week’s public council session, the Glen Rock governing body addressed parking issues and some more drastic types of loitering, including the discharge of firearms. All three ordinances will be considered for adoption on Dec. 12. The council introduced an ordinance that would eliminate some parking spaces that were designed for full-year parking permit options, but were never actually used for that purpose. Another parking ordinance introduced by the council would forbid parking vehicles on the public right of way between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. without special permission from the municipality. The ordinance describes the necessary steps to obtain temporary permission, and stipulates that anyone who wants a temporary overnight parking permit for five days or more must appear in person at the Glen Rock Police Department. Under this ordinance, no permit would be issued for a duration of

more than 90 days. The third ordinance introduced by the council would make some minor changes in the definition of loitering. The loitering ordinance stipulates that crowding people, grabbing purses or handbags, or standing on the sidewalk insulting pedestrians would be forbidden. The ordinance also states that “no person shall set off or discharge any revolver, pistol, gun, cannon, or firearm of any description using cartridges or gunpowder for ammunition...discharge of any paint ball gun, air soft gun, or bow and arrow, except upon private property with the permission of the owner in a manner where projectiles will not land beyond the limits of the said property.” The proposed ordinance includes a fine not to exceed $1,000 or a period of community service not to exceed 90 days for conviction of any provision of the measure.
