Bumper Sticker Beware

Hi Oak Parkers,

Something mortifying yet hilarious happened to me recently in Oak Park and I thought this might be a fun place to share it.

I park my van in the parking lot near Harlem and Lake (the one for the Gap and Pier 1) to go to the gym for a bit. I'm in the gym for about an hour-my limit-and I head out.

Odd even snow parking

The odd even snow parking is a very strange policy, we move are car to the odd side on odd dates , yet no parking space lanes are plowed, not this snow or previous snow falls.I believe this is just a means to write tickets under the pretence of snow removal. Why move your car, when only the middle is being plowed any way. If somebody knows at village hall , please get the people on the 400 block of Oak Park an answer.

Your Host How Bad Do You Really Think Parking is in Oak Park?

It seems like one of the most common complaints about Oak Park is the lack of parking. Well, it looks like the Village is wants people to stop whining and start parking. They just released a video that highlights the parking options around the village -- garages, lots, etc.

I think the biggest parking headaches are for people who live in condos and apartments that don't have off-street parking. I can only imagine what it's like to try to decode all the different permits, signs, etc.… Continue

Your Host More Oak Park Parking Fines in 2010?

The Oak Park Village Board shared their proposed 2010 budget at this week's meeting. Since this is the first year I've actually paid attention to this kind of stuff, I'm afraid I can't offer much in terms of deep, insightful analysis. But for all of you with parking grievances, it looks like things could get even worse when it comes to tickets. According to the proposed budget, the recommended revenue target… Continue
