The Village’s snow removal operations begin with seven or more trucks spreading de-icing materials on main and secondary streets. As snow begins to accumulate, standby personnel are called in to plow the 539 lane miles of Village owned and maintained streets, municipal parking lots, and designated sidewalks. This season, the Village is asking residents to be patient as Public Works clears the way.

Snow Parking Ban

To help our crews work efficiently and safely, the most important thing residents can do is keep their vehicles off the streets when plowing is taking place. By Village Ordinance, parking on the street is prohibited after 2 or more inches of snow fall, and offending vehicles may be ticketed or towed.

The Village will use its Northbrook Notify system to alert residents via text and email when the parking ban is in effect. Sign up for notifications here. Residents may also contact the Northbrook Police Department’s non-emergency line at 847-564-2060 to find out if the parking ban is in effect or to report if a vehicle is disabled in the street.
