Alternate Side Parking Begins Thursday in Racine/Sturdevant

(Originally publish on Racine County Eye) RACINE, WI — Winter weather has brought the start of alternate side parking, which will be enforced seven days a week in the City of Racine and the Village of Sturtevant, the Racine County Eye reports. When either community declares a snow emergency, all vehicles must be off the streets to give snowplows and emergency vehicles better access to area roads.

From 2 to 6 a.m., vehicles can only be parked on side of the street that corresponds to the date; odd addresses for odd days and even addresses for even days.

Violators will face a $20 ticket in Racine. There are exceptions. City residents get a reprieve on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

Sturtevant residents are exempt from Dec. 23 – 27; New Year’s Eve and Day; Jan. 2 and Jan. 3.
