Day 2 Snow Emergency – Cars Will Be Towed

Here’s the list for tonight of places they say cars will be towed – avoid the expensive ticket!

From Streets Staff to the Alders and mayor’s office:

Hello, everyone

Tonight will bring day two of the snow emergency/alternate side parking enforcement. We will be towing again tonight.

Last night was a significant snowstorm for Madison so clean-up operations will take a lot of time.

Please as you share this, try to highlight how important it is to keep vehicles out of the street again today. And to also please keep the refuse and recycling carts out of the street. Those are obstructions when we plow, too.

A plowing specific update will be coming out soon, so if you haven’t signed up for Snow Plow Update email on the winter website, now would be a good time to do so.

Anyway, attached and below is the official press release announcing the snow emergency information.

Snow Emergency Continues Tonight

Vehicles will be towed again tonight

A snow emergency remains in effect for the entire City of Madison until at least 7 a.m. Thursday, February 14, 2019.

Alternate side parking restrictions are in effect again tonight for the entire city of Madison, including the Snow Emergency Zone.

The Streets Division asks that people choose off-street parking options for their vehicles again this evening, especially those within the Snow Emergency Zone. If an off-street parking option is not available, you must abide by alternate side parking rules.

Streets Division crews will be working throughout the day and night to plow areas that had been blocked by parked cars during the daytime plowing operations.

Parking on the Street Tonight (Wednesday, February 13 into the morning of Thursday, February 14)
Vehicles parked on the street tonight (the evening on February 13 into the early morning of February 14) should be on the EVEN house-numbered side of the street between the hours of 1 a.m. and 7 a.m.

Violations of the alternate side parking rules are punishable by a fine of $60 throughout the entire City of Madison and violators may be towed. If a vehicle is towed, an additional towing fee will be added to the parking ticket.

Other Parking Information

Residents are reminded that all daytime parking restrictions will be enforced. That includes restrictions that ban parking on selected blocks in the downtown area and on the near east and near west sides. Parkers should pay attention to all parking signs.

Parking will be available in the cashiered sections of city-owned ramps in the downtown area. During a declared snow emergency you can park for no charge at the City ramps from 9 p.m. until 7 a.m. If you enter before 9 p.m. or leave after 7 a.m. you are liable for any parking charges before 9 p.m. and from 7 a.m. until the time you leave..

When parking in the ramps overnight, do not park on the top level so this area can be plowed. Be aware that vehicles stored in city ramps longer than 48 hours are subject to being ticketed and towed. Meters in lots and ramps are enforced 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Parking is also available at the Brittingham Park Shelter parking lot off of W. Washington Ave.
