§ 19-3.6. Parking Prohibited—Emergency Travel Lanes Santiago Shopping Center, Wanda and Santiago Boulevard.

Due to heavy traffic congestion aggravated by cars parking in front of various shops, emergency vehicles are seriously impeded in responding to calls in the center. The City Council hereby finds that the off-street parking facilities of said center are held open for the use of the public for purposes of vehicular traffic. An emergency vehicle lane is hereby established in accordance with Emergency Vehicle Plan, a copy of which is found in the Office of the City Clerk and by this reference incorporated herein. The Director of Public Works is directed to post appropriate signs designating the no parking-no standing zone, and is also instructed to paint the curb red and add such additional markings as he shall deem necessary or appropriate.

Any violation of this section shall be punishable in the same manner as any other parking offense except that in addition to issuing a citation the Director of Public Works or any law enforcement officer is further authorized to impound any vehicle parked in violation of this ordinance [section] by towing said vehicle to the Public Works storage yard. Any vehicle so impounded shall be held until the cost of the impounding plus storage charges have been paid.
