Nearly 150 Cars Towed On First Day Of Winter Parking Ban
2nd December, 2007
Nearly 150 cars were towed from city streets Saturday morning on the first day of Chicago's winter overnight parking ban.
The winter parking ban went into effect 3 a.m. Saturday. From 3-7 a.m. every night until April 1, parking is banned on 107 miles of critical arterial streets, in the event that snow needs to be cleared from these streets.
On Saturday, the first day of the ban, 149 cars were towed, according to a release from the Department of Streets and Sanitation.
Automobile owners who have their cars towed from these locations face a $150 minimum towing fee, in addition to a $50 ticket and an initial $10 daily storage fee.
A separate seasonal parking ban exists for another 500 miles of main streets when there is at least two inches of snow on the street, no matter the time of day or the calendar date. Cars that violate this ban face ticketing and relocation to a space nearby.
