City of Sheboygan Declares Snow Emergency Effective February 13

The City of Sheboygan, under the direction of Mayor Ryan Sorenson, has declared a Snow Emergency beginning Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 6:00 AM. Residents are urged to follow snow emergency guidelines to assist with efficient snow removal and ensure public safety.

On February 13, residents must park on the ODD side (south and east) of streets. Residents parked on Snow Emergency Routes are highly encouraged to find alternate parking, as the Snow Emergency begins at 6:00 AM on February 13.

To avoid being ticketed, towed, and plowed in overnight, residents parked on Snow Emergency Routes are strongly encouraged to find alternate parking before 6:00 AM to ensure their vehicle is not blocked by snow accumulation.

Starting at 6:00 AM, parking of vehicles on designated snow emergency routes, boulevards, cul-de-sacs, and dead-end streets is completely prohibited during the period of a snow emergency. Vehicles can ONLY return to these streets after the City of Sheboygan announces the end of snow emergency operations.

Snow Emergency Parking Guidelines

During the snow emergency, the following parking regulations will be in effect:

• All-Day Alternate Side Parking: Vehicles on non-snow emergency routes must follow all-day alternate side parking, based on the calendar date.
• No Parking on Snow Emergency Routes: Parking is prohibited on designated snow emergency routes, boulevards, cul-de-sacs, and dead ends during the emergency period.
  • Vehicles can ONLY return to these streets after the City of Sheboygan announces the end of snow emergency operations.
• Suspended One-Side Parking Restrictions: One-side parking restrictions will be temporarily lifted, allowing for alternate side parking on non-snow emergency routes.
• Post-Snowplowing Vehicle Relocation: Once the plows have cleared to the curb (typically in two to three passes), vehicles should be moved to the plowed side of the street before 12:00 AM the next day.
• Off-Street Parking Encouraged: Residents are strongly encouraged to park off-street whenever possible to assist with efficient snow removal.
• Enforcement & Towing: Vehicles parked in violation of the snow emergency rules will be ticketed and towed.

Simple Steps to Follow:

1. Stay: Park on the correct side of the street for winter parking.
2. Wait: Wait for the plows to clear the opposite side.
3. Relocate: Move your vehicle to the plowed side before midnight.
4. Repeat: Keep your car parked on the plowed side the following day.
