Winter Parking Ban Reminder

Enforcement of the winter parking ban will begin with the next snowfall, so please pay attention to the weather forecast.   Here are the key points to remember:

Parking Ban Basics: The Winter/Overnight Parking Ban runs November 1 through April 30, and is in effect from 2 a.m. until 6 a.m. This ban includes all City of Negaunee roads, alleys, city-maintained sidewalks and city-maintained parking lots. For full details, see Ordinance 71.05 (B).

City Right-of-Way: During the winter/overnight parking ban months, drivers will not be ticketed for parking on the City right-of-way (area between the sidewalk and edge of the roadway) as long as no traffic hazard or other negative impact situation is being created. However, be advised that if you choose to park on the City right-of-way during these months, you do so at your own risk and the City of Negaunee is not liable for any damages. For full details, see Ordinance 72.37(A).

Make a phone call to save $50: If your vehicle breaks down or an unforeseen circumstance occurs and you are at risk of violating the winter/overnight parking ban, please call the non-emergency number for Marquette County Central Dispatch at 906-475-9912 and let them know you would like to speak with a Negaunee City Police Officer.  They will collect your name and phone number for an Officer to contact you. Leaving a message on the Police Department answering machine is not appropriate as the Officer on patrol may issue the ticket prior to receiving that message. You must speak directly with an Officer to avoid being cited.
