• Winter Parking Regulations

The Odd/Even Parking Regulations were established to assist residents unable to park all of their vehicles in their driveway and garage during the winter months. Parking vehicles on lawns during the winter can damage the water service lines underground due to freeze, thaw, and the compression caused by the weight of the vehicle. With the Odd/Even Parking rule, Village residents who might have suffered breaks in their service lines have been saved from the costly repairs of such breaks.

Odd/Even Parking on the streets of the Village runs November 15 to April 1 from 2 am to 10 pm. From the time of 2 am until 10 pm, all vehicles needing to park on Village streets shall be parked on the odd-number street address side on odd dates of the month, and on the even-number street address side of the street on the even dates of the month. The night hours between 10 pm and 2 am are to allow the opportunity to park vehicles on the appropriate side of the street for the following day.

One way to help remember which side of the street is permissible that day is to ask “what is the date at 2 o’clock in the morning?” If the date at 2 am is an even date, parking is permitted on the even side of the street from 2 am until 10 pm that day. I referred to the 10 pm to 2 am period as a “free for all”, wherein any side of the street is permitted parking. Just be sure that at 2 am, the vehicle is on the correct side of the street.
