Winter Parking Ban Night!

• Chicago’s winter overnight parking ban begins 3 a.m. Sunday and so will the towing of vehicles parked along the prohibited routes.

  From Dec. 1 to April 1, vehicles parked on the more than 107 miles of streets between 3 and 7 a.m. will be towed.

  While the ban primarily is meant to ensure that streets can be safely plowed during snowfall, it is enforced regardless of the weather.

It also enforced to the tune of 200 cars, give or take a dozen, and a minimum fine/fee of $235.

The media is always asking questions about "quotas," they ought to look into the Streets and San / tow company quotas starting in about three hours.
