Your alderperson's office should be able to tell you if any permits are pulled for your street and there would be construction. Check the street cleaning schedule and hope for the best. Sometimes I ask a neighbor to keep an eye on my car and give her the spare key, but typically parking at the airport (off-site) is as cheap as the Uber to and from so I just do that.
