Midlothian, IL – With winter weather approaching, officials in Midlothian are reminding residents that parking is prohibited on village streets once snowfall exceeds two inches. The reminder comes as crews prepare for the first measurable snow of the season.
According to the Village of Midlothian and local trustee Sandi Crowley, Public Works personnel are closely monitoring forecasts and will begin clearing roads as soon as accumulation begins. “Please be patient with Public Works crews,” the statement read. “If you have to travel, please be safe.”
The Midlothian Fire Department echoed the warning in a social media post Friday evening, advising drivers to use caution as conditions deteriorate. Officials emphasized that parked cars can obstruct plows and slow down snow removal efforts during the storm.
Snowfall totals for Cook County are expected to reach or exceed two inches overnight, with slick roadways likely across the southern suburbs. Motorists are urged to give themselves extra travel time and move vehicles off public streets until plowing is complete.
