From the South Milwaukee Police Department …
Restrictions don’t go into place until December 1, but act now to get those permits.
Winter parking regulations will be in effect from December 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014. Winter Parking Permits are available at the Police Department during regular business hours (Mon.– Fri. 7 a.m. – 8 p.m.) beginning November 1, 2013. Please PLAN AHEAD prior to the beginning of winter parking. No citation payments are accepted or parking permits sold on weekends or holidays (November 28 & 29, December 24, 25, & 31, and January 1, 2014). Please purchase your parking permit prior to the last days of the month. Permits are sold separately for each month of the winter parking season for $25.00, or all four months for $80.00. Vehicles should be parked on the even number side of the street on those nights that the calendar date before midnight is even and on the odd number side of the street on odd calendar days. Citations will be issued for parking a vehicle on the wrong side of the street or for not having a valid parking permit between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Instructions are available at the Police Department. A Holiday On-Street Parking Permit (December 15- January 15) is available for $25.00. This permit works well for college students home between semesters or family members visiting for more than a week.
**NOTE** This year the Thanksgiving Holiday falls on November 28 & 29 which means residents will have to purchase the December permit prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday in order to have the permit in time for the beginning of winter parking regulations on December 1. PLAN AHEAD– get your permit early. Parking permission will not be given because a citizen did not have time to purchase a permit.
