Tinley Park to Repeal Most Downtown Parking Limits Amid Growth and Congestion
What happened
Tinley Park is moving forward with an ordinance to update its downtown parking rules. The changes follow the opening of the Harmony Square music and event venue, which has led to increased congestion along the downtown parking route since the summer of last year. The village is now looking to repeal most of the two-hour parking limits that were put in place as a stopgap measure.

Why it matters
The ordinance updates are a response to the village's growth and the increased downtown activity driven by Harmony Square. The village is balancing the need to accommodate this growth against pushback from long-time residents regarding the existence of the time limits.
