ISGL PARKING ENFORCEMENT POLICY

To ensure safe access and smooth traffic flow for all visitors, the Islamic Society of Greater Lowell (ISGL) enforces the following parking rules on mosque property located at 5 Courthouse Ln, Chelmsford, MA.

Authorized Parking

Vehicles must park only in designated parking spaces within the ISGL parking lot.

Parking is not permitted in the following areas:

  • Fire lanes

  • Grass areas or sidewalks
  • Handicap / Accessible parking spaces without a valid permit

Accessible parking spaces are reserved exclusively for vehicles displaying a valid handicap placard or license plate, in accordance with Massachusetts law.

Improper parking in these areas creates safety hazards, blocks emergency access, and prevents other visitors from safely entering or exiting the property.

  • Placement of a parking violation warning sticker on the vehicle window
  • Notification to the vehicle owner if identifiable
  • Towing at the vehicle owner's expense, when necessary to maintain safety or access

Parking violation stickers are applied to the vehicle window glass and serve as a visible notice of the violation.

By parking on ISGL property, visitors agree to comply with posted parking rules and community guidelines.
