People looking for a place to park will now have to be aware of mailboxes. In a new ordinance passed by the Village Board, cars may not park within 15 feet of an individual or cluster of mailboxes unless the car is registered to the same address as the mailbox in question.

“We’ve had a lot of residents not getting their mail because their boxes are blocked,” explained Mayor John Noak. “At its core, it’s a good neighbor ordinance.”

This ordinance is now in effect Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This will not be enforced on postal holidays. Any questions should be directed to the Romeoville Police Department at 815-886-7219.
