A whopping 263 vehicles were towed on Chicago’s first day of its winter overnight parking ban.

That’s more drivers towed on the first day of the winter parking ban than in each of the past three years. Last year, 242 cars were towed, while 186 were towed in 2021 and 232 were hauled away in 2020, according to the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation.
