The City of Chicago utilizes mechanical street sweepers in order to keep its streets clean and safe. On the assigned street cleaning days, temporary parking restrictions are applied so that the street sweepers can clean the entire street, without interruption.

Please take care to read all posted parking restriction signs and be aware that street cleaning signs take precedence over other posted signs on the street. On street cleaning days, the streets should be kept clear of vehicles from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. The fine for violating street-sweeping restrictions is $50 and vehicles may be relocated to a nearby site by tow trucks enforcing this parking restriction.
