The City of Milwaukee says more than 4,000 parking citations were issued Saturday and Sunday after a weekend snow storm.
On Saturday night into Sunday, 2,300 citations were written. On Sunday night into Monday, another 1,900 were issued.
The city's department of Public Works re;eased the following statement after the weekend storm:
Parked vehicles should not impede the flow of traffic in the travel lane. This includes both the streetcar route and other city roadways. If a vehicle cannot be properly parked flush to the curb and out of the flow of traffic, whether due to snow or otherwise, then we discourage individuals from parking in that particular spot. The City’s priority is to ensure safe conditions on the roadways for all users, and reserves the right to ticket and/or tow when an improperly parked vehicle disrupts the flow of traffic.
