Council adopts ordinance amending overnight parking regulations in District 4

Joday, the Common Council adopted file #250078 – an ordinance relating to exceptions to alternate side night parking requirements. The file, sponsored by Alderman Robert J. Bauman, provides that vehicles may be parked overnight on both sides of any street within the current 4th Aldermanic District, including any boundary street, and that vehicles may be parked in one place for up to 48 hours.

“There are many parts of the city, including portions of my district, that are already exempt from odd/even side night parking requirements. Over the last two years, we have seen a shift in parking patterns that include more overnight street parking,” said Alderman Bauman. “Despite these changes, there has been little to no enforcement of the regulations that were previously in place. Given the lack of enforcement, this ordinance codifies what people are already doing, and allows for a blanket, uniform exemption for those utilizing street parking overnight.”

Those utilizing overnight street parking are still required to register for an overnight parking permit. Additional information on parking permit options can be found by visiting milwaukee.gov/Parking/ParkingPermits.
