Snow Emergency Canceled

The City of Madison has canceled the snow emergency for this evening, Wednesday, February 19.

Streets Division staff determined the second evening of a snow emergency is not necessary due to the weekly posted parking restrictions downtown on Thursday and Friday mornings. The Streets Division will operate plows in these areas during the posted parking restricted times to push the snow back to the curb for the streets to be wide and safe. All who park in areas with posted parking restrictions are strongly encouraged to follow those rules so snow plowing can take place during those posted times. Violators may be towed. If a vehicle is towed, an additional $65 towing fee is added to the parking citation.

This means alternate side parking restrictions will be in effect tonight only in areas outside of the Snow Emergency Zone.

Individuals who park their vehicle in the Snow Emergency Zone overnight tonight (February 19 into the early morning hours of February 20) do not need to abide by the overnight alternate side parking restrictions. All daytime parking restrictions remain in effect.

Alternate side parking restrictions will be in effect for residents outside of the Snow Emergency Zone. Overnight alternate side parking rules are enforced outside of the snow emergency zone every year from November 15 to March 15 regardless of weather conditions.
