Janesville declares snow emergency for 5 p.m. Thursday

JANESVILLE—The city of Janesville has declared a snow emergency starting at 5 p.m. Thursday.

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 5 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 seven 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

-- Parking ramp at North Parker Drive and East Wall Street

Fines for parking on the streets during a snow emergency are $50. Police may begin issuing tickets before plowing begins.

Residents can get additional snow emergency information on the city’s website here or by calling (608) 755-SNOW. To report problems or concerns, call 755-3110.
