All City of Madison of Madison streets will be plowed today. Operations started at 7:00am on December 15, 2022. A snow emergency has also been declared.

All Madison residents are encouraged to choose off-street parking options for their vehicles and trailers for the next two days. Fewer obstacles in the road means plowing operations will be safer, faster, and more complete.

The snow emergency declaration means overnight alternate side parking restrictions will be in effect for the next two nights for the entire City of Madison, including the Snow Emergency Zone.

During the overnight hours for the next two nights, the Streets Division will be working to push back snow to the curb in an effort to keep streets wide and safe for all roadway users.

Violators of daytime parking restrictions and the overnight alternate side parking rules can be ticketed and may be towed.

Other Parking Information
