Nov. 23, 2016 - Shoppers who come upon a parking meter with a special holiday parking tag or bag in downtown Oak Park or in the vicinity of South Oak Park Avenue are in luck. They can park free for two hours.
Beginning after Thanksgiving, anyone can park free for two hours at a tagged/bagged meter or in a pay-by-space lot on Saturdays before Dec. 25. Free parking will also be available this Friday, Nov. 25, typically one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
In addition to metered parking spots and pay-by-space lots, parking is free all day Saturdays in the public garages during the period and always is free on Sundays.
The program is intended as a thank you for residents and visitors who shop locally. Retail sales benefit not only local retailers, but the entire Village since 2 percent of every retail sale comes back to municipal coffers to fund vital public services.
For many retailers, the holiday season is the most important time of the year. Village officials say they hope this small gesture will increase sales as well as create goodwill among the businesses and their customers.
