Janesville declares snow emergency for 2 p.m.
The city of Janesville has declared a snow emergency starting at 2 p.m. today.
A snow emergency means that all vehicles must be removed from city streets and public parking lots until snow plowing operations are complete. To ensure that you do not receive a parking ticket, move your vehicle before 2 p.m. and keep it off city streets until they have been completely plowed.
If you are unable to park in a driveway or garage, vehicles can be parked in one of six downtown municipal parking lots in a designated snow emergency parking stall.
They are:
-- East Wall Street lot at East Wall Street and North Parker Drive
-- Municipal Building lot at West Wall Street and North Jackson Street
-- South High Street lot at West Court Street and South High Street
-- Senior Center lot at St. Lawrence Avenue and Water Street
-- Hedberg Public Library lot on Water Street
-- River/Union Street lot at South River Street and Union Street
Fines for parking on the streets during a snow emergency are $20. Police may begin issuing tickets to violators before plowing operations begin.
Residents can get additional snow emergency information on the city’s Web site at www.ci.janesville.wi.us or by calling (608) 755-SNOW. To report problems or concerns, call 755-3110.

When the snow plow cleans our street 2 hrs before the emergency starts, if we put the cars back on the street will we get a ticket? Is this a trap? I think the key words are " UNTIL SNOW PLOWING OPERATIONS ARE COMPLETE" Ya got $20 bucks off me last year when we had a inch of snow and during the night Janesville declared a snow emergency.
