CRG - 5

Community Resource Guide

Streets are swept every week, weather permitting. On sweep days, vehicles must be vacated between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., even if the sweeper has passed.

Snow Removal For snow emergency information, call 708-788-8220. During snow emergencies, a 60-second wailing siren will sound to alert drivers that a snow emergency exists and vehicles may be ticketed and/or towed if illegally parked. A snow emergency is a three-day cycle of plowing. When 6 or more inches of snow accumulates and an emergency is declared, be sure to read the street sign located on the block in which you are parking to determine if it is a snow route. Residents must also remove vehicles from areas designated a snow route to avoid ticketing or being towed.

Berwyn Municipal Parking Facility The parking facility is located south of the Berwyn Metra train station in Berwyn’s Historic Depot District at 3320 S Grove Avenue. Commuters can park on the first four levels with a City of Berwyn Depot commuter permit, which can be obtained at Berwyn’s City Hall. Daily permits can be purchased at the pay stations located on the first floor of the two stairwells for $3.00. The fifth, and top, level is open to the public at an hourly rate of $0.25.

Depot Parking Permits Depot parking permits for Metra commuters, employees and residents are sold as annual and quarterly permits on a first-come, first-served basis at City Hall. Parking areas are located in the Municipal Parking Facility and along Windsor Avenue and Stanley Avenue from Ridgeland Avenue (LaVergne Station) to Harlem Avenue (Harlem Station).

City Speed Limit and General Parking The speed limit is 25 mph unless posted otherwise. Parking is for residents only between 3 a.m.-6 a.m. on all streets unless posted otherwise. Visitors will require a parking pass.

Vehicle Tags City ordinance requires that any resident owning a car, motorcycle, truck or bus must obtain a Berwyn vehicle sticker each year. Stickers are renewed annually on June 1 and must be displayed by July 1. Vehicle stickers still valid from another town become invalid when residency is established in Berwyn. New residents must purchase a Berwyn sticker at City Hall or the Police Department Parking Division within thirty (30) days of residency.

Visitor Parking Passes Visitor parking passes for designated residential parking zones are available for qualified vehicles. Passes expire on June 30 and must be renewed annually. Visitor Parking Passes may be obtained from the Berwyn Police Department Parking Division, 6401 W 31st Street.

Signs can be displayed between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sales can be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Permits can be obtained at City Hall.

Building Regulations Residents must obtain a permit from the Building Department located in City Hall before proceeding with building repair or remodeling projects. All contractors and subcontractors must be licensed and bonded with the City before permits can be processed. Information is available through the Collector’s Office at 708-788-2660.

Permit Regulations Permits are required on all improvements made to buildings and property, including but not limited to the following work: electrical and plumbing; concrete or asphalt; HVAC or boiler; all demolition (including permit for dumpsters); dormers or additions; interior and exterior structural alterations; garages; replacement windows and glass block; porches, decks, and steps; sewer replacement; fences and gates; swimming pools and hot tubs; roofing; kitchen and bathroom remodeling; cabinet removal and replacement; and drywall. Permits are not required for inside painting, cleaning, appliance installation or replacement and floor coverings.

Compliance Inspections At the time a property is listed for sale with a realtor or “by owner,” the property must be inspected for compliance with all city ordinances. If violations do exist, this ordinance allows the seller adequate time to rectify any problems prior to

sale, therefore expediting the closing on the home.

Services for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities The mission of the Senior Services Division is to assist and provide services for Berwyn’s seniors and persons with disabilities, including advocacy, referrals, education, solutions, lobbying, and a broad array of city services.

Grass cutting and snow removal Seniors and persons with disabilities can access assistance with grass-cutting, leaf-blowing and snow removal. Homeowners must be pre-approved. For more information or an application, call 708-484-2510.

Location & TransportationBerwyn’s location is one of its biggest assets. Our community is

conveniently located within one mile of two major transportation arteries, the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290) to the north and the Stevenson Expressway (I-55) to the south. Additionally, both O’Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport are within easy driving distance.

Berwyn has three convenient commuter rail stations, serviced by Metra along the BNSF

Railway in the Historic Depot District. Additionally, Pace bus service is extensive and links conveniently to the CTA's elevated Blue Line trains.

For trip planning, visit the Regional Transit Authority at rtachicago.com or call 312-836-7000.

Buy BerwynThe BDC launched Berwyn’s shop local campaign, Buy Berwyn, in January 2010. The purpose of this Chamber promotion is to build awareness regarding the benefits of shopping local and to encourage support for the local business community. According to research, the 3/50 project has identified that for every $100 spent in independently owned stores, $68 returns to the community through

taxes, payroll, and other expenditures while shopping with national chains retains only $43 and online shopping retains nothing! This campaign is not about dramatically changing our shopping habits and shunning national chains. Rather, it is about making an effort to shop local independents when we can.
