Several times during the past couple of decades, when major roadway projects were proposed along Arlington Heights Road, or redevelopments of private properties occurred adjacent to this roadway, the Illinois Department of Transportation mentioned their concerns with the Village ordinances that allow parking on Arlington Heights Road.

Historically, three churches were allowed Sunday morning parking along Arlington Heights Road. Two of the churches have since provided additional off-street parking within their sites and the ordinances for their Sunday parking have been repealed. St. James Catholic Church is now providing additional off-street parking as part of their facility improvements to the east side of their campus. Village Ordinance #18-003 approving the project, included a condition that on-street parking along Arlington Heights Road would be eliminated.

The attached ordinance eliminates parking on both sides of Arlington Heights Road throughout the Village and repeals all previous ordinances pertaining to permitted parking along Arlington Heights Road.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that an Ordinance Prohibiting Parking along both sides of Arlington Heights Road throughout the corporate limits of the Village of Arlington Heights, be approved.
