Winter Parking Rules In Effect Nov 15

Now we don’t want to jinx the lovely weather we’ve been enjoying, but the calendar doesn’t lie–it’s time for winter parking rules to take effect.

Each year from November 15-March 15 the university asks for your cooperation so that we may keep the streets and sidewalks clear of snow and ice.

Please adhere to the following winter parking rules beginning on Sunday, November 15:

• No parking on Observatory Drive or Linden Drive between 2 AM and 6 AM
• Restricted parking in lots 16, 32, 34, 40, and 51 E:  Please park in designated rows–look for the “Shovelin’ Bucky” signs
• If all designated 2 AM – 6 AM rows are full, park inside Ramp 17, Ramp 20, or Ramp 36
• Do not park on the top level of these ramps, and remember to move your vehicle to your designated lot before 7 AM

Due to the fact that these rules are in effect from 2 AM – 6 AM, they are particularly impactful for third shift employees and students who park on campus overnight.  We ask for your assistance in spreading the word to these groups of people–visit www.wisc.edu/trans/winter_weather.asp for printer friendly PDFs that can be posted wherever appropriate to help inform your peers, employees, and students.

If you have any questions, please visit our website, or contact Patrick Litza at plitza@fpm.wisc.edu
