12th Ward Alderwoman Julia Ramirez
shared word of the removal of rush hour parking restrictions on West 35th Street between South Ashland Avenue and South Western Boulevard.
Restrictions had forced motorists to avoid parking on alternating sides of the street each weekday between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. for eastbound morning rush hour, and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. for westbound afternoon rush hour.
These restrictions and signs will be removed by the
Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT)
, with the entire stretch converted to all-day parking.
"This change will increase parking availability for local businesses and residents," Ramirez said in an announcement.
