Construction Parking Permits
Why a permit?
The purpose of the Construction Parking Permit is to allow contractors to park a trailer or waste container at or in close proximity of the job site in which he/she is working. A permit is only available if the unit cannot be stored on private property. This permit allows the contractor to park at this location without the worries of receiving parking citations.
Types of units?
The Construction Parking Permit is for an unattached construction trailer or waste container. All materials or equipment must be stored within the construction trailer, other than loading or unloading. No work shall be done on the street or sidewalk areas. The permit will only be valid for the trailer whose license number appears on the permit or the waste container to which the permit is attached. The trailer or waste container must be well marked with reflectors (the use of reflective tape is acceptable). Trailers or waste containers shall be located in close proximity to the job site. The permit for a construction trailer shall only be valid when the trailer has been detached from the tow vehicle. All other vehicles shall comply with applicable provisions of the Model Traffic Code for that area.
