Alternate Side Winter Parking begins on November 15, 2017, and ends March 31, 2018. This requires anyone parking a vehicle on a village street to park on the even side of the street on even days and the odd side of the street on odd days, which is enforced between 1:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. This means you should park on the side of the street where houses have even numbers on the even days and vice versa.

Note: Don’t forget that the enforcement begins at 1:00 a.m., so if you park your vehicle before midnight remember to park the vehicle on the correct side of the street, bearing in mind that the date will change at midnight. Also, December 31st is followed by January 1st, and January 31st is followed by February 1st, which are two odd days in a row, so park accordingly.

If you live on a street with No Parking on one side, the alternate side winter parking does not apply to that area. There are also areas in the village that are exempt from the winter parking ordinance, so if you have any questions, please contact the New Glarus Police Department at (608) 527-2145, or go to the village’s website and review the Alternate Side Winter Parking Ordinance 288.22.

If you have a vehicle that cannot be moved in accordance with the ordinances, please contact the police department with your request the night before your vehicle would be subject to enforcement action. Please do not wait until you receive a parking citation.
