Hundreds of cars towed for violating Chicago's winter parking ban
Nearly 250 vehicles were towed Monday on the second day of Chicago's winter parking ban, officials announced.
CHICAGO - Nearly 250 vehicles were towed Monday on the second day of Chicago's winter parking ban, officials announced.
The Department of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) reported 244 cars were towed across the 107 miles of Chicago streets that fall under the parking ban.
The ban is in effect on main city roads between the hours of 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. until April 1, 2025.
"Having this consistent rule for overnight parking allows snow removal crews to plan and execute their operations more effectively, and we ask residents and visitors to please follow the posted parking restriction signs so critical routes can be fully salted and plowed during winter weather events," DSS Commissioner Cole Stallard said.
Vehicles that are left parked on the affected roadways will be towed and face a minimum of $150 towing fee, a $60 ticket and a storage fee of $25 per day, according to city officials.
The vehicles that are towed will be taken to Pound 2, at 10301 S. Doty Ave., or Pound 6 at 701 N. Sacramento Ave.
