This Local Law shall be known and cited as "Local Law Amending Chapter 230 of the Town Code Prohibiting Parking During Snow Emergencies." Section IL• Legislative Intent. In 2018, the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger adopted reforms to Chapter 230 of the Town Code. The Town finds and declares that the expeditious removal of snow from the public highways in the Town of Wappinger is required to keep the highways open for emergency vehicles during snow emergencies to protect the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the Town. The Town Board enacts this Local Law to prohibit parking on public streets and highways in the Town of Wappinger, outside the corporate limits of the Village of Wappingers Falls, pursuant to the authority granted by New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law §1660 (18) & (27). However, a section of Code has been identified as contradicting the Code amendments made in 2018 to only enforce that a snow emergency shall exist when the National Weather Service has issued an advisory or warning that winter weather conditions are expected to be severe, hazardous or cause significant inconvenience to the traveling public. This Local Law also granted authority to local officials to declare a snow emergency in circumstances where the National Weather Service has not issued advisories for the Town of Wappinger. Section III: Amendment of Parking Prohibited at All Times § 230-19.2 A (1) entitled "Wintertime Parking Restrictions." is hereby deleted and replaced with a new § 230-19.2 A (1) to read as follows: A. Overnight parking prohibited during wintertime. La Between November 1 of each year and March 31 of the following year, only during a declared snow emergency as defined within this section, no vehicle shall be left standing or allowed to remain parked upon any public highway of the Town of Wappinger, outside of the corporate limits of the Village of Wappingers Falls, during such months. Section VI: Separability. The provisions of this Local Law are separable and if any provision, clause, sentence, sub- section, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid or unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any person or circumstance, such illegality, invalidity or unconstitutionality, or inapplicability shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, clauses, sentences, subsections, words or parts of this Local Law or their application to other persons or circumstances. It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent that this Local Law would have been adopted if such illegal, invalid or unconstitutional provision, clause, sentence, subsection, word or part had not been included therein, and if such person or circumstance to which the Local Law or part thereof is held inapplicable, had been specifically exempt therefrom. Section VII: Effective Date This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon adoption and filing with the Secretary of State as provided by the Municipal Home Rule Law.
