With the unseasonably warm weather and no snow in the foreseeable future, the City of Kewaunee Police Department has suspended the enforcement of winter parking on the streets. The overnight parking ban will resume when snow is back in the forecast. The Kewaunee Police Chief Robin Mueller says the laws restricting overnight parking are in place to allow for street departments to clear snowfall off roadways safely and in a timely manner.
According to Mueller, when the parking ban from 1:00 a.m. until 6 a.m. is in effect, enforcement is only done at 1:30 a.m. or one-half hour after bar time. Property owners are encouraged to check for blocked storm drains near their homes or businesses so streets are free of accumulating water caused by snow and ice melting.
You can always reach out to the police department in advance to request permission for overnight parking by giving your name, phone number, and vehicle information.
The cities of Sturgeon Bay and Algoma have not lifted the overnight parking ban, which began on December 1st in Sturgeon Bay and November 1st in Algoma. The overnight parking bans typically expire at the end of March.
