The street parking rules for the city of Milwaukee are going to last for an extra two weeks.
Milwaukee City Clerk Jim Owczarski says the city’s Department of Public Works has extended parking rules, normally from December 1 through March 1, until March 15.
DPW Spokesman Brian DeNeve says the move is to “ensure safety on those narrow streets which allow two-sided parking during traditionally non-winter weather months.”
Any street for which signs are posted which say “No Parking Dec. 1-Mar. 1” will now have that rule extended until Friday, March 15.
“Winter weather conditions impact the ability of emergency vehicles, snow clearing vehicles and
passenger vehicles to safely move through narrow residential streets,” said DeNeve.
“Therefore, certain residential streets are restricted to parking on a specific side of the street during the winter months. These streets are posted with signs reading “No Parking” on one side of the street, either for the entire December 1 to March 1 period, or with a monthly alternation of the prohibited side. For the monthly alternation areas, the side of the street where parking is prohibited December/February would be extended to include March 1 – March 15.”
He said people who don’t comply by the extension will be fined $35, and vehicles could be towed.
