Parking Restrictions Lifted in Oak Park, River Forest during Holiday Season
Permits not needed to park on the streets over the next two weeks.
Here's one thing you're not going to need to remember if you have family coming into town over the holidays: a permit to park on the street.
Both Oak Park and River Forest have lifted overnight parking restrictions during the holiday.
A main exception, of course, is on snow routes if more than two inches of the white stuff falls.
