If your car is missing tomorrow or the recipient of a bright orange ticket, do not assume your friends have upped their April Fools' game this year. The Chicago street sweeping season begins tomorrow, April 1, and runs through the end of November.

Street sweeping times are between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on the street cleaning dates in each ward. No parked cars are allowed on the street during sweeping times and failure to follow those rules could result in a ticket or towing fee.

Head over here to check your ward and get your full schedule for street sweeping season.
