==== Parking ====
Street parking on Elston Avenue is not metered. Elston is a snow route, so no parking after 2 inches of snow, or you'll get towed. Street cleaning is on Wednesdays (north side) and Mondays (south side), 7-9 AM, April through October. Otherwise, parking on Elston is not restricted.
There are no [https://www.chicityclerk.com/city-stickers-parking/about-parking-permits residential permit zones] nearby.
==== Divvy ====
There is a [https://www.divvybikes.com/ Divvy] bike-sharing station at the front door.
