Aldermen who are sponsoring a measure to slap those selling residential parking permits around ballparks with jail time have held it back from consideration at a City Council committee meeting today.
Under the proposal that was slated for a hearing today, people caught selling their residential permits for on-street parking near Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular Field on game days could face jail time.
The two Chicago aldermen who represent the neighborhood around both ballparks are co-sponsoring the plan to try to crack down on people who are turning a hefty profit by charging drivers from elsewhere in the city or suburbs for the one-day permits that allow them to legally park curbside on game days.
