Local areas declare snow emergencies for Sunday
MADISON
Crews are already plowing roads across the city, and officials asked residents to choose off-street parking options if possible. Alternate side parking rules are in effect for Sunday night.
Officials also asked that anybody whose trash and recycling collection day is Monday not place their carts in the street.
The city has about 1.800 miles of lanes that need to be cleared, and the process could take 12 to 14 hours.
The low temperatures also mean that the city’s salt treatment is ineffective. Drivers should expect snow-covered and slippery roads.
JANESVILLE
The City of Janesville also declared a winter weather emergency beginning at 4 a.m. Sunday.
Officials said all parked vehicles must be removed from city streets until snow and ice control operations are complete, which will be from at least 4 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sunday.
City crews said they will do a city-wide plowing following the snowfall.
A news release said the emergency may be rescinded for Monday, but updates will come on the city’s website.
If someone is unable to park in a driveway or garage, the city is providing several open downtown parking lots:
- East Wall Street Lot at E Wall Street & N Parker Drive
- City Hall Lot at W Wall Street & N Jackson Street
- S High Street Lot at W Court Street & S High Street
- Hedberg Public Library Lot on Water Street
- River/Union Street Lot at S River Street & Union Street
- N Parker Drive Parking Ramp at N Parker Drive and E Wall Street
EVANSVILLE
The City of Evansville declared a snow emergency beginning at 4 p.m. Sunday and lasting until 4 p.m. Monday.
Parking will not be allowed on city streets, meaning that all vehicles must be parked on private property or in a designated public parking area. Violators will be ticketed and towed.
The restrictions will allow crews to clear as much snow as possible.
