Today, September 30th, is the last day to have your in-person parking ticket hearings at the city’s West side hearing center.
The location, run as a payment center and administrative hearing facility at 800 N. Kedzie (at Chicago), will no longer be open to hearings as of today.
The payment center will (of course) remain open.
This reduces the number of locations for in-person hearings from four to three.
The closing of this facility for hearings seems to directly effect west side residents who will now have travel farther for their hearings.
Also important to note, the city has six payment centers and only three hearing facilities. Hmmmmmm…
The remaining three locations for in-person hearings include:
The Central Hearing Facility 400 W. Superior Hours: 9-4 M-F, 9-3 Sat.South side Facility 2006 E. 95th St. Hours: 8-4 M-F
North side Facility 2550 W. Addison Hours: 8-4 M-F
