Yorkville, IL – Drivers across Yorkville are being asked to move their vehicles off city streets today after early-morning snowfall triggered the city’s seasonal parking restrictions. Police announced that as of 8 a.m., the area had received approximately 2 inches of accumulation — the threshold that activates Yorkville’s snow-related parking ban.
According to the Yorkville Police Department, parking on city streets is prohibited any time snowfall totals exceed 2 inches and remains restricted for 24 hours after the snowfall ends. The department noted that the rule is essential for allowing snowplow crews to safely and efficiently clear roadways throughout Yorkville and surrounding Kendall County communities.
Police said the reminder comes after fresh accumulation created slick travel conditions across northern Illinois today, with additional delays possible as plow operations continue. Residents who leave vehicles parked along city streets may hinder snow-clearing operations and risk receiving a citation.
City officials emphasized that removing vehicles from the roadway helps ensure plows can reach residential neighborhoods, school zones, and primary travel routes. It also improves visibility and safety for both drivers and snow-removal crews, especially during periods of dense morning traffic.
The city will lift restrictions 24 hours after snowfall has fully ended, though officials encourage residents to monitor updates from the Yorkville Police Department and city public works teams throughout the day. Additional advisories may be issued if snow continues or if road conditions deteriorate.
Residents are encouraged to plan ahead, move vehicles to driveways or approved parking areas, and allow extra travel time. Police thanked the community for its cooperation as crews work to keep streets safe during the winter weather event.
