Alderman Reilly asks, “Got stickers?”

From 42nd Ward Alderman Brendan Reilly's Office:

City Vehicle Sticker and Residential Permit Parking Reminders

The 2008-2009 vehicle sticker expires on June 30, 2009. The City Clerk’s Office provides a 15-day grace period before vehicle sticker enforcement begins on July 16th, 2009.

The 2009 Dog Friendly Chicago-themed sticker features several new updates and security enhancements. The new vehicle sticker will include the annual residential parking permit zone number (when applicable), the vehicle’s license plate number and a barcode of the sticker number as an added security measure.

Residents are encouraged to purchase their 2009-2010 vehicle sticker online, residential zone parking and daily guest passes are also available. There is no additional charge for online purchases and vehicle sticker prices remain unchanged from last year. For those who choose to purchase their city vehicle sticker in person, the City Clerk’s Office is located at City Hall, 121 N. LaSalle St., Room 107.

Please note that a current city vehicle sticker is required to purchase an annual residential permit parking sticker. Proof of purchase must be presented in addition to proof of residency. Residential parking permit (RPP) zones limit parking to residents and their guests during specified hours. This program helps to ensure that residents of densely populated areas have reasonable access to parking near their residences. Vehicles parked in an RPP zone must display an RPP annual permit or daily pass on their windshield or they may be ticketed. Motorcycles and scooters may park in RPP zones without displaying an annual or visitor residential parking permit.

Residents can check to see if their address falls in a residential parking zone by clicking here.

A city vehicle sticker is not required to purchase daily guest passes. Daily passes are for guests of a RPP zone resident. The pass is valid for no more than 24 hours from the time written on the permit. All other traffic restrictions must be followed while displaying a permit. By ordinance, an RPP zone resident can purchase up to 30 daily passes every 30 days.

Please be advised that residents will need to bring a photo id and with their current address or proof of residency (mortgage or lease, water, gas, light, satellite or cable television or land line phone bill), in order to purchase the annual residential permit parking sticker or daily guest passes.
