Background
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.
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 Monday - Friday 8 am - 10 am, not inclusive of weekly street cleaning restrictions within the on-street overnight permit parking areas); 2.) Time Limits (Example - Maximum parking of 2 hours Monday - Friday 9 am - 5 pm); 3.) Resident daytime permit parking; 4.) Non-resident daytime permit parking (Example - Student permits as established in 15-3-18 of the Village Code.); 5.) No parking anytime; and 6.) The parking pilot program restrictions.
The Daytime Parking Restrictions map does not include parking restrictions that are traffic safety-related (for Example - “No Parking Here to Corner” locations, crosswalks, and driveways). Further, the Daytime Parking Restrictions Map does not include on-street parking meter locations, loading zones, on-street overnight parking permit locations, off-street and enclave permit parking lot locations, public parking garage locations, or designated disabled parking locations.
A copy of the Village’s current pay-by-plate parking map and the permit parking map are attached for the Village Board’s review and information. These two (2) maps are not required to be updated pursuant to the Village Code and therefore it is not necessary they be formally adopted by the Village Board via this Ordinance.
