Parking
Alternate-side Winter
parking begins November 15th of each year and ends March 31 of each
year. This requires anyone parking a vehicle on a village street to park
on the even side of the street on even days and on the odd side of the
street on odd days, which is enforced between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.
This means you should park on the side of the street where houses have
even numbers on the even days and vice versa. Note: Don't
forget that the enforcement begins at 2:00 a.m., so if you park your car
before midnight, remember to park the vehicle on the correct side of the
street bearing in mind that the date will change at midnight . Also,
December 31st is followed by January 1st, and January 31st is followed
by February 1st, which are both two odd days in a row, so park accordingly.
If you live on a street with No Parking on one side, the alternate-side
winter parking does not apply to that area. There are also areas in the
village that are exempt from the winter parking ordinance, so if you
have any questions, contact the New Glarus Police Department at 527-2145.
If you have a vehicle that
cannot be moved in accordance with the ordinances, please contact the
Police Department with your request the night before your vehicle would
be subject to enforcement action. Please do not wait until you
receive a parking citation.
There are also restrictions on the parking of vehicles with a weight in
excess of 12,000 pounds, length over 19 feet or height more than 8 feet
from the roadway, including trailers, boat or snowmobile trailers,
busses, campers, farm implements, or recreation vehicles.
"Shop with a Cop" Program
The Green County Law
Enforcement Administrators' Association (GCLEAA) has sponsored the "Shop With A Cop" program

brighter Christmas to kids each year.
