Easement Of Parking Restrictions Extended In Oak Park: Village

OAK PARK, IL — The temporary easement of restrictions to most on-street overnight and daytime parking in Oak Park is now extended to Sept. 30, according to village officials. The decision was made after a recent village board discussion regarding local parking rules, according to the village. This change comes nearly a month after the village announced that overnight and daytime street parking restrictions would resume after they were eased in March as part of an emergency order to accommodate the growing number of residents working from home during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

However, parking restrictions are still in effect in the following areas:

• Metered and pay station spaces
• Paid overnight permit areas, including posted on-street zones and lots.
• All other parking regulations related to traffic and public safety, including no parking in front of a fire hydrant, remain in effect.
