(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — The meter is running for those milk crates, traffic cones, broken lawn chairs and play sets that Chicago residents been using to save street parking spaces they shoveled out during recent snowfall.
The Department of Streets and Sanitation announced Tuesday that that crews will start removing "dibs" items on Friday, with special attention given to objects that have been the target of complaints to 3-1-1.
Dibs, of course, is a long-debated tradition in Chicago, and city officials typically have tolerated the system — up to a point.
“Since last week’s storm, [city] crews have been diligently working to address snow and ice to ensure all Chicago’s streets are safe and passable for residents,” Commissioner Cole Stallard said in a news release. “At this time, we ask residents to please be neighborly, and pick up any personal items they may currently have on the street.”
