Winter parking restrictions go into effect for Milwaukee, Racine, Sheboygan
MILWAUKEE — Winter parking restrictions start on Sunday, December 1 for Milwaukee, Racine, and Sheboygan.
In Milwaukee, residents and visitors will not be able to park on through highways and bus rounds from 2am and 6am. During snow emergencies, vehicles must follow alternate side street parking between 10pm and 6am where parking is allowed. That means on even-numbered calendar days, vehicles must be parked on the even-numbered side of the street, and for odd-numbered calendar days, vehicles must be parked on the odd-numbered side of the street.
The City of Milwaukee’s Department of Public Works recommends signing up for parking alerts at milwaukeeparkingalerts.com or for email messages at milwaukee.gov/enotify.
Winter parking regulations in Milwaukee are in effect until March 1.
In Racine, winter parking regulations also start on Sunday, December 1, with alternate side parking in effect daily except for Christmas Day (December 25) and New Year’s Day (January 1).
During snow emergencies, parking is prohibited on main/arterial streets as well as collector side streets as well. Winter parking regulations are in effect in Racine until April 1.
In Sheboygan, winter parking restrictions start on December 1 but end on March 31, with alternate side parking in effect daily from midnight until 6am. The city also expanded the criteria for snow emergencies, allowing for the definition to include a wide range of winter weather, not just heavy snowstorms or blizzards.
During snow emergencies, vehicles will be required to follow all-day alternate side parking, with parking based on the calendar date. After the snow is plowed to the curb, then residents will be encouraged to move their vehicles to the plowed side of the street before 12:00 AM the next day. All one-side parking restrictions will also be suspended during a snow emergency, allowing for alternate side parking on non-snow emergency routes.
Sheboygan encourages residents to follow the simple steps:
- STAY: Park on the correct side of the street for winter parking.
- WAIT: Wait for the plows to clear the opposite side of the street.
- RELOCATE: Move your vehicle to the plowed side before midnight.
- REPEAT: Keep your car parked on the plowed side for the following day.

Community members and city leaders celebrated the opening of four new community-powered fridges on the North Side of Milwaukee. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Friday, Feb. 27, at Metcalfe Park Community Bridges, 3624 W. North Ave., to mark the occasion.
The effort to fight food scarcity by opening community-powered fridges comes after several grocery stores closed in the area, creating a food desert.
District 15 Ald. Russell W. Stamper II, who saw several grocery stores in his district close over the past few years, served as the event’s emcee.
“We could either complain about the problem, or we could come together to find a solution,” Stamper said.
In July 2025, a Pick ‘n Save on the North Side closed, prompting the opening of a community-powered fridge at Tricklebee Café in the Sherman Park and Uptown area. Since then, several other grocery stores have closed in the area.
This led Stamper, FEED MKE, Metcalfe Park Community Bridges and One MKE to open four more community-powered fridges.
Christie Melby-Gibbons, executive director of Tricklebee Café, talked about the organization’s community-powered fridge. About a week ago, the fridge was empty for the first time since its launch, so staff turned to their online community for support.
“Within 20 minutes, a woman came in with bags of food and filled the fridge for less than $100,” Melby-Gibbons said.
The community-powered fridge network is run by residents on a take-what-you-need, leave-what-you-can model. Taking a grassroots approach to solving food insecurity in the area, community members provide fresh produce and other healthy food options to ensure that their neighbors have access to nutritious foods.
“Everybody deserves to eat. I can’t go to sleep at night knowing my neighbors are hungry,” said Melody McCurtis, deputy director of Metcalfe Park Community Bridges.
Here’s a list of all the community-powered fridges:

3624 W. North Ave.

3940 W. Lisbon Ave.

3526 W. Fond du Lac Ave.
