Janesville declares snow emergency
The City of Janesville has declared a snow emergency for December 7, 2007 starting at 12:00 a.m. A snow emergency means that all vehicles must be removed from city streets and public parking lots until snow plowing operations are complete. To ensure that you do not receive a parking ticket, please move your vehicle prior to 12:00 a.m. and keep your vehicle off city streets until they have been completely plowed.
The best place to park during a snow emergency is in your garage or driveway. If you are unable to park in a driveway or garage, please park in one of the designated snow emergency parking stalls. These stalls are located in the six downtown municipal parking lots listed below.
- East Wall Street Lot at East Wall Street & North Parker Drive
- Municipal Building Lot at West Wall Street & North Jackson Street
- South High Street Lot at West Court Street & South High Street
- Senior Center Lot at St. Lawrence Avenue & Water Street
- Hedberg Public Library Lot on Water Street
- River/Union Street Lot at South River Street & Union Street
When you arrive at the lot, look for the signs designating the snow emergency parking stalls. Fines for parking on the streets during a snow emergency are $20. The Police Department may begin issuing tickets to violators before plowing operations begin.

I agree...my street has been plowed once since we had all this snow. I haven't even seen a salt truck on it. There are a lot of streets in this town that don't get plowed or salted. They just wait till it melts. But sometimes its already too late. Do they not understand that it's actually better to plow than to have all the accidents and what not. This city needs to rethink their "plowing" criteria.

Snow emergency or not (I see that it was cancelled 11 hours later), can anyone explain to me why some streets in my Janesville subdivision get plowed, and some do not? And what the criteria is for plowing and when? The city must think that the snow will melt on my street, b/c they never seem to plow unless we get greater than 4 inches of snow. Very frustrating...my tax dollars at work.
