The Department of Public Works reminds city residents that the posted street sign takes precedence in all areas of the city. Residents should read the signs on the block/in the neighborhood for winter parking instructions before parking. Not all winter parking rules are posted, residents should also check for parking restrictions at milwaukee.gov/winterregs. Residents can also call (414) 286-CITY (-2489).
Residents are encouraged to sign up to receive a Snow Mobile Winter Text Alert message and/or an E-Notify email message which serve to alert them that a DPW operation has been called, and that vehicles must be moved accordingly. To sign up for either or both alerts, go to milwaukee.gov/enotifyor call (414) 286-CITY for assistance.
