The Chicago City Council has approved an ordinance to establish a Residential Permit Parking Zone on South Wabash Avenue between 7800 South and 7839 South on both sides of the street. The permit zone will operate Monday through Friday at all times, requiring vehicles to display a valid residential parking permit within the designated block. The ordinance, introduced by the Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety, aims to prioritize street parking for local residents and mitigate commuter cut-through traffic in the neighborhood. Implementation includes installation of regulatory signage indicating the permit zone number and operating hours, enforcement by the Department of Finance’s Parking Enforcement unit, and a permitting process accessible through the city’s online portal. Eligible residents within the zone boundaries may apply for permits, and non-permitted vehicles will be subject to citations. This measure is part of Chicago’s broader residential parking program to enhance neighborhood livability and traffic management.
