Parking passes, such as those for guests or contractors, will be issued to any resident requesting them as follows:

  1. Parking passes will be issued at Village Hall. Residents may request a parking pass by calling 708-366-8500. The request should be made far enough in advance to guarantee that you receive the pass(es) by the requested day.

  2. Parking passes will be valid only for the date(s) on the pass. There is no limit (within reason) to the number of passes which can be issued for the same day. For example, if a resident is having an afternoon gathering, a request for up to 15 passes would be granted.

  3. Normally, passes will be issued for only one day at a time. However, passes may be issued for up to two weeks for special circumstances (resident has a guest staying for an extended period of time). Passes issued to contractors may be issued for up to six weeks. If additional time is needed new passes may be issued.

  4. Parking passes must be displayed on the dashboard on the driver’s side.

  5. Parking passes are not valid for the following: No Parking Anytime, Loading Zones, Bus Stops, Parking During Snow Removal, Handicapped Parking, Village Parking Lots, Permit Parking Zones, Daily Parking Zones, and Business Parking Permit Zones.

Caregiver Parking Passes, also known as Special Permit C, are issued for a calendar year for residents with caregivers that need to park on Village streets that would otherwise have restrictions prohibiting parking. Passes are valid for the calendar year in which they are received. Applications can be submitted to the Police Department Records Division.

Permits will typically be issued for and be valid from 6am – 2am. Occasional overnight parking can still be requested. In extreme circumstance where consistent on-street overnight parking is needed, residents can request and provide justification for a 24 hour pass. Caregiver uses include child caregivers, medical caregivers, physical therapist, home health care workers, hospice workers, and elderly service workers.

Parking passes will not be valid in: No Parking Anytime, Loading Zones, Bus Stops, Student Loading Zones, Parking During Snow Removal, Handicapped Parking, Village Parking Lots, Paid Permit Parking Zones, Daily Parking Zones, and Business Parking Permit zones. Passes are only valid in the closest possible vicinity of the service address for which it is registered to. Passes that are improperly used will be immediately revoked and a ticket will be issued.
