Oak Park Parking Restrictions Set To Resume

OAK PARK, IL — Overnight and daytime street parking restrictions will resume at 2:30 a.m. Monday throughout Oak Park, the village said in a news release. These include overnight restrictions from 2:30 a.m. to 6 a.m. and all posted daytime restrictions, which 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, according to the village. As the village continues to follow the state guidelines that have allowed most businesses to reopen, and the local emergency order no longer in place, officials said the need for the special parking accomodations has decreased, according to the news release.

In addition, the Oak Park Police Department continues to support limiting on-street parking as a safety measure, and the village's public works department is stressing a need for street sweeping.

Parking is prohibited on all streets from 2:30 to 6 a.m., seven days per week, year around, except when allowed by permit or pass, the village said. However, the restrictions are lifted around some holidays.

While the overnight parking restrictions are scheduled to resume, vehicle owners can still request up to 10 temporary, overnight on-street parking passes per month; three are free and the other seven are $7 each, according to the village.

Overnight passes are available via the Passport Parking app for mobile devices and online at ppprk.com/park.

More information about reserving an overnight on-street parking pass as well as day, extended, guest parking passes, and quarterly parking permits, including those for certain streets or lots, is available at oak-park.us/parkingpasses.

Permits can be purchased online. Residents can also contact the Parking Permits Office at 708-358-7275 for information about permit availability and guidelines at desired locations, the village said.
