PARK ON THE ODD SIDE OF THE STREET TONIGHT

A snow emergency remains in effect for the entire City of Madison until 7:00 a.m. Tuesday, February 19. Residents are asked to keep their vehicles off the street tonight if possible. If you must park on the street this evening you should park on the ODD house-numbered side of the street between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Details on winter parking restrictions are available at cityofmadison.com/winter. Violations of the alternate side parking restrictions during a snow emergency are punishable by a $60 fine. Violators may be towed tonight. If a vehicle is towed, an additional $65 towing fee is added to the parking citation.

Crews will be working throughout the night to plow back areas that had been blocked by parked cars during the initial plowing operation. Snow that cannot be plowed from the street due to parked vehicles may freeze solid and impede traffic and parking all winter long.

Parking is available in the cashiered sections of City-owned parking garages in the downtown area. During a declared Snow Emergency you can park for no charge at the City garages from 9:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. If you enter before 9:00 p.m. or leave after 7:00 a.m., you are liable for any parking charges before 9:00 p.m. and from 7:00 a.m. until the time you leave.

When parking in the garages overnight, please do not park on the top level so this area can be plowed. Be aware that vehicles stored in City garages longer than 48 hours are subject to being ticketed and towed. Meters in lots and garages are enforced 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

Free parking is also available at the Brittingham Park Shelter parking lot off West Washington Avenue.

SNOW PLOWING UPDATE

Throughout the day on Monday, Streets Division crews continued their regular post-storm work. The salt routes were maintained. Neighborhood streets were plowed back and sanded where needed. Snow removal operations were underway today as crews worked to scoop and haul excess snow that caused vision hazards and other obstructions. Other crews also worked on plowing bus stops, school crosswalks, and so on.

The salt routes are in good winter driving condition, and should remain so through the evening and into the Tuesday morning commute. However, neighborhood streets may still have slick spots, so roadway users must make good choices. Remain alert, cautious, and slow when traveling over snow-covered streets.

Beginning at midnight tonight, crews will begin the second night of snow emergency plowing to push snow back to the curb that had been blocked by parked cars and apply sand where needed.

Residents can sign up to receive text and/or email alerts whenever a snow emergency is declared at cityofmadison.com/winter. You will also get storm and plowing updates at the site or by calling (608) 261-9111.
