SNOW EMERGENCY HAS BEEN DECLARED!
The City of Madison has declared a snow emergency. That means that alternate side parking restrictions will be in effect throughout the entire City of Madison including the downtown/isthmus snow emergency zone.
Madison residents are asked to remove all vehicles from the street if possible. Residents who must park on the street this evening should park on the EVEN house numbered side of the street. Vehicles parked on the street Wednesday evening February 10th should be parked on the ODD house numbered side of the street. Violations of the alternate side parking rules are punishable by a fine of $60 throughout the entire City of Madison. Violators could also be towed.
Our latest forecast is calling for the snow to continue until late evening. We will be plowing all residential streets starting at 10:00 pm this evening. With City crews and the contracted pieces of equipment, there will be about 175 plow units on the street plowing the 766 miles and 1708 lane miles of City streets. We hope to have all streets plowed by Wednesday morning.
