Recommendation
Adopt the Ordinance.
Background
Pursuant to the Village Code, the Board of Trustees establishes parking regulations, which are primarily captured in Chapter 15. In addition, it is necessary, on a bi-annual basis, that the Village Board approves a comprehensive street map of the Village which identifies all existing daytime parking restrictions, inclusive of changes recommended to date by the Transportation Commission and authorized by the Village Board.
Attached is the current “Village of Oak Park Daytime Parking Restrictions” map. The map shows the following on-street daytime parking restrictions: 1.) Time Restrictions (Example - No Parking 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.), not inclusive of weekly street maintenance restrictions within the on-street overnight permit parking areas; 2.) Time Limits (Example - Maximum parking of 3 hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.); 3.) Resident daytime permit parking; 4.) Non-resident daytime permit parking (Example - Student permits as established in 15-3-18 of the Village Code.); and 5.) No Parking anytime.
The daytime parking restrictions map does not include parking restrictions that are traffic safety-related (Example - “No Parking Here to Corner” locations, crosswalks, and driveways). Further, the map does not include on-street pay-by-plate parking locations, loading zones, or designated disabled parking locations.

DEI Impact
The daytime parking restrictions map was recently incorporated into the Village’s geographic information system (GIS). Previously, the map was generated through a legacy software system with limited functionality. While this map and associated data are being fully transferred to GIS, staff will take the opportunity to ensure language access is prioritized and work with the DEI office to create static printed maps as well as interactive digital maps focused on language access.

Previous Board Action
On September 5, 2023, the Village Board adopted ORD 23-88, an Ordinance Updating and Replacing the Map Codified as Part of Section 15-1-26 of the Oak Park Village Code to Reflect the Village’s Current Time Restrictions, Time Limits, and Prohibited Parking Areas.

Anticipated Future Actions/Commitments
The daytime parking restrictions map was recently incorporated into the Village’s geographic information system (GIS). Previously, the map was generated through a legacy software system with limited functionality. To optimize the legibility of the PDF version of the map using the Village’s GIS, the map was divided into four (4) quadrants. Staff intends to make the maps available via an interactive GIS StoryMap that will be more interactive, easy to understand, and widely accessible to the public.
