Emergency Siren to Sound at 8:15 PM Thursday Night
With the Snow Route Parking Ban tonight comes an Evanston tradition: the sounding of the City's emergency siren. This siren is another way the City lets residents know about the snow route parking ban.
See our snow parking regulations website for more details.

OK...just saw the 11PM posting on another page. STILL.
There is over two inches of snow and the plows are out....no cars
should be parked there....right?

I wonder whether those of us who live in Chicago and have to put up with the noise have a basis for a noise pollution suit against Evanston.

Last night there was no parking on snow routes after 11 PM. Plows were out regardless of snow fall.

Sirens just rang (loudly) for a LONG time. Policeman's private SUV is parked on the snow route on Lake St. (where residents have to have an F sticker to use that spot) Officer Script at the station says the snow route is not in effect until 11PM at night. (Nowhere does it state that on the web page).
The sign says that parking there is not allowed when there is over two inches of snow.
There IS and has been more than two inches of snow. The snow plough has to do a wide sweep to go around this vehicle.
Why is this fair?
