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.
The City of Madison limits the amount of salt that is applied to its streets as an effort to protect its groundwater and the quality of the lakes. Only main arterials, thoroughfares, main connector streets, Madison Metro bus routes, streets surrounding hospitals and schools and major hills and curves are salted. All other City of Madison streets receive sand to act as an abrasive on hills, intersections and curves.
