MILWAUKEE — The City of Milwaukee declared a snow emergency for Sunday and Monday night.
Overnight parking restrictions go into effect so that plows can clear the streets. All vehicles must be parked on the even-numbered side of the street by 10 p.m. on Nov. 30. Vehicles must be parked on the odd-numbered side by 10 p.m. on Dec. 1.
There is no parking allowed on either side of main streets or bus routes from 10 p.m to 6 a.m.
Some Milwaukee Public Schools have lots available for parking during snow emergencies from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Garbage and recycling pickup is suspended for Monday so that all Department of Public Works crews can focus on snow removal. Collection will resume on Tuesday with crews working extended shifts to catch up on delays.
Leaf collection was also paused during the snow removal. Nov. 30 was the last day for residents to rake leaves into the street, but it takes DPW crews two to three weeks after to complete the final collection.
Winter Parking begins Dec. 1
In addition to the snow emergency regulations, winter parking rules begin Monday.
Alternate side parking is required on certain residential streets at night between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. until March 1.
On even-numbered calander days, vehicles must be parked on the side of the street with even house numbers; on odd-numbered calendar days, a vehicle must be parked on the side of the street with odd house numbers.
