Parking Lots You Can Use (Especially When Snow Piles Up) There are two-dozen public parking lots in or near the 12th Aldermanic District that are available when on-street parking gets tight because of snow and ice. IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of the lots listed have meters while most require night parking permits. Users must also move their vehicles at least once every 24 hours. Beware of snow storage areas that do not allow parking during the winter months. All posted rules and signs should be obeyed.
Residents having questions about night and winter parking regulations can call 286-8350 or access the city’s parking web page at www.parking.mpw.net
Snow Removal Required By Law City of Milwaukee residents must provide for shoveling of sidewalks bordering their property within 24 hours of a completed snowfall, according to section 116-8 of the city’s Code of Ordinances. The ordinance applies to the owner, occupant or person in charge of any real property “abutting or fronting upon a paved public sidewalk or crosswalk.” This ordinance also requires property owners/occupants to prevent ice from becoming a hazard to sidewalk users by applying sand, abrasive material or any product that melts ice. Snow blowers can be used lawfully at night; other power equipment may not operate between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. The city does not plow alleys. Also, the city urges people to please “adopt” a fire hydrant by keeping it clear of snow and ice.
