My brother was telling me recently that there are multiple permit zones around where he lives, but none for his block, which is on a boulevard. When there's sweeping, he's got big problems.

Right near me there is a lot of permit and non permit areas and street sweeping causes some serious issues too. Luckily on Elston there is a long stretch that is non permit and no cleaning. Just need to watch for the snow when it comes.

I'm a renter and I've got a parking permit, so I think the description is misleading. Street cleaning is always a pain, but generally not a problem for me. What's been a problem has been the water/sewage pipe work they've been doing on my street, forcing all of us to park elsewhere while they turned it into a tow zone the past three months.
