Winters in Illinois usually will produce a number of significant snow events.  Norridge’s Public Works Snow Command is always ready to set their snow removal plan into motion to clear all streets as quickly and safely as possible.   

You should be aware that we are not responsible for following state/city roads:

East River Road 

Cumberland Avenue

Lawrence Avenue

Harlem Avenue

Irving Park Road

Forest Preserve Drive

Public Works dispatches their plows to both the east and west end of Norridge and they work their way inward.  Plows are also dispatched to the north and south ends of town.  As with any significant snow fall, plows may be required to make numerous passes until all streets are clear of snow. 

Parking on Streets

If you have a driveway, please utilize it. For those of you in designated and marked snow route areas, Village Ordinance states you must move your cars off the street once the snow fall hits 2 inches or more. If you are not sure if you live on a snow route, CLICK HERE.  We have also established a snow hot line for residents to call to see if the snow route enforcement is in effect. The number is 708-583-5775.

For those who live in the historic section (south of Montrose Avenue), East of Harlem Avenue, areas around Foster Avenue, and areas around Leigh School, you will now follow an odd/even snow designation.  CLICK HERE for a map of the area.  Simply put, in the Historic section, from Wednesday through Sunday, after 2 inches of snow has fallen, there is no parking from 8:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M. on the side of the street with even addresses on even calendar dates and no parking on the side of the street with odd street addresses on odd calendar dates. For Foster Avenue & areas around Leigh School - the restriction days are Friday - Tuesday.  These restrictions will remain in effect until the snow event is over and snow removal is completed.  

The #1 complaint to the Village Hall is from frustrated residents who have moved their car, cleared the snow from their apron or driveway, and then the snow from the neighbor who didn’t move their car is deposited back onto their clean driveway.  Be a good neighbor and aid with snow removal by removing your car from the streets when the plows are out. 

Alleys

As a convenience to our residents, the snowplows will make one pass down the center of all alleys in the Village, once final snow removal of the streets is complete. 

Snow on your apron and driveway

An unavoidable, and unfortunate, consequence of our snow removal operations is when snow from the street ends up at the end of your apron or driveway.  We understand the frustration this may cause.  Here are some tips and reminders to help avoid headaches – and backaches.

Clear about 10 feet of snow from the right side of your driveway (as you are facing it)

Pile the snow to the left of your driveway-downstream of plowing operation

Remember, shoveling or blowing snow from your driveway onto the street is prohibited, and can also create hazardous conditions for drivers.
