On April 8, 2025, the Chicago City Council amended the existing parking ordinance to repeal parking meters on West North Avenue (north side) between North Wells Street and North LaSalle Drive and to install new parking meters on North Marcey Street (east side) between North Sheffield Avenue and West Willow Avenue as well as on North Sheffield Avenue (west side) between North Marcey Street and North Clybourn Avenue. The amendment references the ordinance passed on March 12, 2025, inserting the underscored language for Meter Zone Number 254 403 removal and new installations. The repeal removes obsolete meter zones and reallocates parking management efforts to adjacent neighborhoods. The installations will provide regulated parking, improve turnover, and enhance curbside management in Lincoln Park and neighboring areas. The ordinance takes effect upon passage and publication, advancing pedestrian and traffic safety committee objectives. It aligns with citywide transportation strategies and meets community parking demand. Revenue implications include updated meter zones and potential new meter fees. This amendment streamlines existing parking regulations and supports urban mobility objectives.
