Tinley Park prohibits obstructing public sidewalks with merchandise, signs, vegetation, snow, or parked vehicles. Property owners must maintain clear ADA-compliant pedestrian paths.
The Village of Tinley Park requires property owners and businesses to keep adjacent sidewalks clear of obstructions. Prohibited items include unapproved A-frame signs, merchandise displays, overgrown vegetation (branches below 8 feet must be pruned), construction debris, and vehicles blocking sidewalk crossings. Snow and ice must be removed from sidewalks by adjacent owners within a specified window after a snow event (commonly 24-48 hours). Garbage and recycling bins may not block sidewalks outside of collection windows. Businesses placing A-frame signs, bike racks, or displays on sidewalks need Village approval and must maintain at least 5-6 feet clear pedestrian path for ADA compliance. Village Code Enforcement and Public Works respond to obstruction complaints.
Obstruction violations: $50-$500 per occurrence. Snow/ice removal failures: $25-$200 per day. Repeated violations may lead to Village abatement at owner expense.
