Snow emergency . . . a.k.a. parking emergency, for another two nights.
The City of Madison has declared a snow emergency today, February 20, 2019. This means alternate side parking restrictions will be in effect tonight for the Snow Emergency Zone as well as the rest of the City of Madison. The snow emergency will remain in effect until 7 a.m. on February 22, 2019.
The Streets Division encourages all residents to choose off-street parking options throughout the day on February 20 and reminds everyone to follow daytime parking rules as well as the overnight alternate side parking rules. Fewer obstacles in the road means plowing operations will be safer, faster, and more complete.
Individuals who park their vehicle in the Snow Emergency Zone overnight must abide by alternate side parking rules. Those who do not follow the alternate side parking rules may be ticketed and towed.
All Madison streets should be cleaned up from today’s winter storm by 8:00 a.m. Thursday, February 21, 2019.
