Full Breakdown

Section 480.09 of the Berwyn Code of Ordinances allows overnight parking in three areas under the conditions it sets out, and every vehicle parked under the section must also follow the snow provisions of § 480.05.

At the Vacin Fairway, overnight parking runs from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. of the following day, any day of the week. Four groups qualify: passenger vehicles and motorcycles displaying Berwyn resident parking permits, also called vehicle stickers; non-resident passenger vehicles and motorcycles displaying Vacin Fairway Permits; non-resident passenger vehicles and motorcycles displaying a legally obtained and properly displayed Berwyn visitor parking pass or temporary visitor parking pass; and commercial vehicles with a commercial vehicle parking permit.

At the Stanley and Windsor Avenues Depot parking, the overnight window is 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. of the following day, any day of the week, and it is open to commercial vehicles with a commercial vehicle parking permit along the BNSF rail line between Wisconsin Avenue and Home Avenue and between East Avenue and Ridgeland Avenue. No commercial vehicle parking is allowed in the Depot District on streets where permeable pavers exist. The Library East Lot runs from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., open to resident-sticker passenger vehicles and motorcycles, visitors displaying a pass or temporary pass, and permitted commercial vehicles.

Elsewhere on public streets, other sections cut overnight parking. Section 480.03(D)(2) bans commercial vehicles from any public way from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Section 480.05(E)(1) bars stopping, standing or parking from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. seven days a week, holidays included, on Roosevelt Road from Lombard Avenue west to Harlem Avenue, on Cermak Road from Harlem Avenue to Lombard Avenue and on Ogden Avenue from Lombard Avenue west to Harlem Avenue. The commercial vehicle permit itself is issued under § 484.10 at $200 per quarter or $550 per year.

Violations & Fines

The Schedule of Fines in § 422.99 lists Vacin Fairway permit parking violations under § 484.07 at $50 if paid within the time specified on the citation and $75 after, and illegal use of a visitor's pass under § 484.04 at $100 and $200. Any member of the Police Department can remove and tow a vehicle parked in violation of an ordinance under § 480.02(A). A Traffic Code violation with no line of its own falls to § 202.99, with a fine of not more than $2,000 for each violation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I park overnight in Berwyn?
Section 480.09 names three areas: the Vacin Fairway from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., the Stanley and Windsor Avenues Depot parking from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. for permitted commercial vehicles, and the Library East Lot from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Each has its own permit or pass conditions, and § 480.05 snow rules apply.
Can a visitor park overnight in Berwyn?
Yes, in the Vacin Fairway or the Library East Lot, if a non-resident passenger vehicle or motorcycle displays a legally obtained and properly displayed Berwyn visitor parking pass or temporary visitor parking pass. Illegal use of a visitor's pass is a $100 violation if paid within the citation time and $200 after, under § 484.04.
