Residents will be permitted to request up to 20 exceptions per vehicle license plates per year.
âMt. Lebanon currently prohibits overnight parking on public streets. This is not an ordinance that suddenly is going to prohibit parking. Thatâs been on the books since the mid-1970s. This is just adjusting an existing ordinance,â Commissioner Steve Silverman said.
He and other commissioners voted unanimously April 27 to approve an ordinance that amends the Mt. Lebanon code. In February, they decided on Oct. 1 for the start of a grace period prior to enforcement of a key provision of the ordinance beginning Jan. 1.
The ordinance gained approval following extensive discussion during the past three-plus years as commissioners and municipal staff members sought to arrive at a solution to abuse of the system that was in place for residents to ask for exceptions to the parking prohibition on public streets between 2 and 6 a.m.
