MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee's Department of Public Works will significantly relax parking enforcement during the coronavirus pandemic, the department announced Thursday.
Effective immediately, all timed, metered, and night parking restrictions have been suspended, and DPW won't issue tickets for those offenses.
Instead, the department is focusing on safety-related offenses, like blocking a handicapped-accessible space, blocking The Hop, or parking too close to a fire hydrant or alley.
Vehicles will not be required to alternate side-park or have night parking permits - but they should abide by all other parking regulations, such as posted 'NO PARKING' signs.
Additionally, 'No Parking in a Loading Zone' (including carryout zones) will be actively enforced.
