Palos Parking Rules In Effect During Winter Storm

PALOS, IL — With a winter storm warning for Monday through Tuesday, now is probably a good time to remind residents of Palos Heights, Palos Hills and Palos Park of each town'd 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. 24 and continuing through the overnight hours until 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 26.

Palos Heights

Street parking is prohibited when there is excess of one-inch of snow.

Palos Hills

Parking is prohibited on Palos Hills streets from 2 to 6 a.m. and no parking on streets ever when there is 2-inches or more of snow.

Palos Park

The Palos Park Public Works Department’s primary objective during the winter season is to keep approximately 29 miles of roads free from snow and ice through plowing and salting operations. The public works crew needs four to five hours to plow the entire village under normal plowing conditions. The first priority of salting is to apply calcium chloride or salt to hills, turns, and intersections as conditions warrant. Once the snow has stopped falling and during the last plow through the area, salt is applied to streets where needed. During icing or freezing rain conditions, the salting of village streets is a priority.
