** It is imperative that during this time all vehicles be removed from City streets for the entire duration of the Snow Emergency; City snowplows will be making several passes to help best ensure the safety of our residents. **

If you do not have a place to park your vehicle off-street the City is providing public parking in the following areas:

A map of available parking locations can also be found here: bit.ly/OPSnowEmergencyMap.

Also, please be advised that when Department of Public Works crews are deployed during a snow event, the plowing of City roadways is prioritized in the following order: primary roadways, secondary roadways and then residential intersections.

Oak Park residents should also be advised that per Chapter 66 Section 166-167 of the Code of Ordinances:

Snow and ice must be removed from all sidewalks within 12 hours from when it stops snowing during daylight hours and/or by 6 pm the next day when it stops snowing during the night;
It is considered a public nuisance to allow ice and snow to accumulate on sidewalks;
Failure to remove snow and/or ice from all sidewalks within the time frames above may result in citations being issued or City removal at the homeowner’s expense.
I appreciate your patience and cooperation during this snow event. Please stay safe and warm.

Sincerely,

City Manager, Erik Tungate
