Scituate Town Ordinance 7.2(a)

Defendants appealed the respective decisions of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violations of Scituate Town Ordinance § 7.2(a) (prohibited thru trucking). The District Court held that the language of § 7.2(a) is clear and unambiguous on its face and both defendants violated the ordinance by driving their empty trucks on streets where such driving was prohibited. Furthermore, § 7.2(a) provides for a penalty to be imposed. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the decisions of the Appeals Panel and remanded the matters for the imposition of penalties.
