Ald. Bob Fioretti questions overnight winter parking ban in Chicago

CHICAGO (WLS) -- One candidate for Chicago mayor says it might be time to get rid of the city's winter overnight parking ban. More than 200 vehicles were towed Dec. 1, the night it went into effect.

Ald. Bob Fioretti introduced a resolution in the city council on Wednesday to take a hard look at the 34-year-old ordinance.

He says it might be unnecessary now because of improvements in forecasting major snowstorms and getting the word out.
