PLOWING UPDATES

ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING GOES INTO EFFECT SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH!

It's that time of year again. Winter is rapidly approaching.

I want to take this time to remind people that the Alternate Side Parking Ordinance goes into effect on this upcoming Sunday, November 15th. Residents outside the Isthmus Snow Emergency Zone must remember to alternate the sides of the street they park on should they park any vehicle on the street overnight.

The alternate side parking rules require that vehicles must be parked on the even house numbered side of the street from 1:00 am until 7:00 am on even numbered days and on the odd house numbered side of the street from 1:00 am until 7:00 am on the odd numbered days.

The Alternate Side Parking Rules are in effect from November 15th through March 15th and are in effect in most of the City seven days a week regardless of weather conditions.

Please check out our winter weather website for more information about winter weather at www.cityofmadison.com/winter.

Winter Parking

During the winter months, the City's snow-clearing teams are working to keep our roads safe and clear for motorists, public transit, pedestrians and cyclists. You can help by following the City's winter parking rules.

From November 15 - March 15, there are four things that you must consider when parking in the street:

• What is Alternate Side Parking?
• Where is a Snow Emergency Zone?
• Where do I park during a Declared Snow Emergency if I live in the Snow Emergency Zone?
• Where do I park during a Declared Snow Emergency?
