Aldermanic Updates

Residential Permit Parking

Zone 1189 Changes

Last summer, residents reported that River North bar patrons would illegally park in Residential Permit Parking (RPP) Zone 1189 and host curbside parties after the bars closed. These parties had a negative impact on quality-of-life and often turned violent.

In response to these reports, Alderman Reilly introduced an ordinance (O2023-0004231) at the City Council to make RPP Zone 1189 violations a towable offense. The new regulations will take effect on Monday, July 1.

Additionally, RPP Zone 1189 signs have been installed in several new locations. For more info, CLICK HERE.

Upcoming Larrabee Street Changes

1-Way Configuration

Between Erie & Superior

Ward 42 asked Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) Traffic Engineers to conduct a traffic study on North Larrabee Street, between West Erie Street and West Superior Street – due to reports of wrong-way drivers, vehicles not stopping at stop signs, and gridlock traffic. CDOT recommended making changes to improve the flow of traffic and enhance pedestrian safety. To see the recommendations and the timing, CLICK HERE.
