- If you ignored the winter overnight parking restrictions on some Chicago streets last night, you may be one of the 301 owners whose vehicles were towed for violating the ban.
At least 301 vehicles were towed on the first night of the parking restrictions. The ban hours, from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m., started early today and were enforced along 107 miles of the major streets.
Last year, 188 vehicles were towed on the first day of the ban, officials said.
Just based on the 50% increase in cars hooked, we're going to go out on a limb and say that the City isn't short tow truck operators.
