Oak Lawn Parking Rules In Effect During Winter Storm
Residents should be prepared for the Village of Oak Lawn to enact snow parking rules on Jan. 25 through Jan. 26.
OAK LAWN, IL — With a winter storm warning for Monday through Tuesday, now is probably a good time to remind Oak Lawn residents of the village's confusing snow parking rules.
Heavy snowfall with totals of up to 8 inches is expected in many areas, including southern Cook County beginning 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25 and continuing through the overnight hours until 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 26.
When there is more than one-inch of snowfall, there is no parking on designated snow routes until snow removal operations are completed. Also, the village's odd/even ordinance is in effect.

There is no parking on even-numbered sides of the streets on even-numbered days, and no parking on odd-numbered sides on odd-numbered days. This means that on Monday, Jan. 25, you'll want to park on the odd-numbered side of the street; and on Tuesday, Jan. 26, the even-numbered side of the street. Residents’ cooperation means that the streets get cleaned that much sooner.
