City to Close Non-Essential Services to the Public Tuesday January 9th Due to Inclement/ Weather Plowing Updates

Due to expected heavy snowfall last evening and continuing through today, all non-essential, in-person City services will be suspended on Tuesday January 9, 2024. Emergency services, including the Madison Police and Fire Departments will not be affected by the closure.  Madison Metro plans to operate regularly scheduled service; riders should expect delays due to the weather. Remote and online services such as online permitting will continue to be offered during this time. Other city facilities such as libraries, Olbrich Park, and the Clerk’s and Treasurer's Offices, among others, will not be open to the public. 

We expect that all in-person operations will resume on Wednesday January 10, 2024. We will continue to monitor the weather for Wednesday and will provide you with notice should conditions warrant additional closures.

The Madison Streets Division will continue around the clock snow plowing and salting operations throughout the day.  Trash and recycling collection has been cancelled for today (January 9) so additional staff can be reassigned to help maintain these routes as the storm intensifies. An update will be provided this afternoon with more details on Streets Division plans for this evening as the response to this storm continues.

Madison Police, Fire and Streets Division will work closely with Dane County Emergency Management to continue monitoring conditions throughout the blizzard.
