Winter parking regulations in Rhinelander

The Rhinelander Police Department would once again like to remind city residents of the winter parking regulations which will go into effect on Nov. 15. We would ask that residents follow the regulations to assist the public works department in their efforts to clear and maintain the streets during periods of snowfall. Failure to comply with the parking regulations may result in a citation.

There is a fine of $25 for those who violate. 

From Nov. 15 to April 15, no person shall park any motor vehicle on any other street, city-maintained alleyway, or unmetered public parking lot between 2 and 6 a.m. At all other times during such dates, all motor vehicles shall be parked only as follows: 

• Commencing at 6 a.m. of an even numbered date to 2 a.m. of the subsequent date, all vehicles may park only on the side of the street corresponding with even numbered addresses. 

• Commencing at 6 a.m. of an odd numbered date to 2 a.m. of the subsequent date, all vehicles may park only on the side of the street corresponding with odd numbered addresses. The police department may remove any illegally parked vehicle to a public garage or proper parking place and may charge the cost thereof to the owner of the vehicle.

• The following streets are exempt from the even-odd parking requirements: Baird Avenue, from Court Park to Dahl Street; Court Park, from Oneida Avenue to Baird Avenue; Oneida Avenue, from Court Park to Dahl Street; Dahl Street, from Oneida Avenue to Baird Avenue; Keenan Street, commencing at its intersection with Kemp, and proceeding northerly 100 feet.

• No person shall park a vehicle in any area where parking is allowed during emergency traffic regulations 4.02.13. The mayor, police chief or director of public works may declare a snow removal emergency where the parking of vehicles would impede snow removal operations.
