Romeoville Passes New Snow Parking Ordinance

Village of Romeoville trustees this week approved a new snow parking ordinance designed to limit on-street parking during snow removal to allow plows to access and clear the streets during the winter.

The new guidelines are as follows, according to the village:

• Odd-even parking will go into effect upon the accumulation of 2 inches of snow on the village streets and will remain in effect until snow removal operations are complete.
  
• The switch over time for odd-even parking will be changed to 6:00 am.
  
• The fine for snow related parking violations will be $50.00.
  
• Officers will patrol village streets and immediately issue parking citations and a 24 hour tow notice to any vehicles found in violation of the odd-even parking ordinance.
  
• Vehicles parked on streets designated as parking prohibited after two inches of snow fall will be ticketed and towed immediately.
  
• Parking citations for blocking the sidewalk will not be issued until the snow removal operations are complete.

The restrictions do not apply to Grand Haven, Highpoint, Wespark (Besides Wespark Pkwy), Lakewood Falls (Unincorporated), Carillon, Remington, Malibu Bay Townhomes and Romeo Gardens, the village said.
