Overnight Parking

I get tons of questions about overnight parking in the village. The answer is pretty simple, there is none. However there are a few ways you can park your car on the street overnight if you have guests, or other needs. I go into the reasons later in this post.

One of the reasons we are strict about this ordinance is because it allows snow plows, garbage pick-up, emergency vehicles, easy access for providing service and keeps streets neater and cleaner. In the newer parts of the village we worked very hard on insisting on larger garages, so you can park your cars inside as well as providing driveways for parking as well.

The Local Ordinance that governs overnight parking is as follows:

10.16.090 All night parking. When signs are erected in each block or entrance to a subdivision giving notice thereof, no person shall park a vehicle on any public street or alley, including the right-of-way thereof, between the hours of two a.m. and six a.m. of any day. (Prior code § 41.14)

So how can I park overnight? Here how is works…
Residents must call CenCom E9-1-1 Communications Center at (847) 270-9111 for permission to park a vehicle overnight. Residents must provide the dispatcher with their name, telephone number, address of parking request, vehicle description and the vehicle registration number. Residents are allowed three (3) overnight parking incidents per calendar month.

The dispatcher forwards each request to the on-duty police shift supervisor. The police shift supervisor reviews each request and grants or denies the request. However, exceptions are made on a case-by-case basis for extraordinary circumstances. Thanks to the Police Department's Director of Police Administration Michael Recupito for gathering the information for me. By the way, the sign I used as the photo is a joke, this will not actually happen to you, you will get a ticket.
