ROUTE 7 BRIDGE CLOSING

The Route 7, or 9th Street, bridge will be closed to all traffic from May 5th through August 31st for IDOT to make repairs.  Detour signs will be posted.  More information will be given as soon as IDOT sends the press release.  We apologize for any inconvenience, but this is a state project. 

Residential Parking Permits are available at the Lockport Police Department for those residences within the "No Parking 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m." restricted zone around the high school.  This restricted zone was created to prevent high school students from parking in front of the residences while school is in session.  However, we have received complaints from several residents that they have been issued parking violations in front of their own homes.  For this reason, we are issuing residential parking permits for specified areas surrounding the schools.  Please note, we are still enforcing our ordinance that prohibits any on-street parking from 3 - 6 a.m.  These permits are no exception.  Thank you. 

 Parking in the Metra commuter lot located between 13th and 14th Streets, off of State Street is by daily fee or quarterly permit.  You may deposit a $1 in the drop box at the lot for daily parking or you may purchase a quarterly permit at City Hall. The cost for a quarterly permit is $60. Permits are sold on a lottery system.  Please call 838-0549 ext. 2103 for more information.
