save-my-car

It's winter in Chicago, and you don't know where you can leave your car parked? We got you.

Chicago has a fairly onerous and unsually series of winter parking bans which trace their historical origin to the 1979 Chicago Blizzard

I find the map super hard to read, and haven't seen any media outlets do a better job.

As a resident, I need an easy and interactive way to tell where I might get towed if I leave my car.

Something that just shows one point, not the whole city.
An address lookup would be helpful.
An interactive map. Sometimes I park at my house, sometimes not, so I need to change where I'm parked.
I might have other parking needs, issues with other parking issues and I need a reliable way to check things.
What about construction?
IRL signage, digital notifications?
Here where I was, but I don't know where my car is?

We need data on:

which street segments are illegal for winter overnight or 2 inch snow parking?
- Geometry, multiline string
- a reasonable buffer around those geometries
- When the restrictions are in effect (bonus)
where the user wants to park/is parked
- Lat/Lng Point
