Full Notification

On Tuesday, October 20, the Middleton Common Council approved the following ordinance amendment to prohibit parking in front of certain mailboxes.

1. Section 15.04(15) of the City of Middleton Code of Ordinances is hereby created to read as follows:

“Parking in Front of Mailboxes. In various areas in the City, residential mailboxes are located on the street, but due to driveway access by private alleys or lack of driveways, are not placed near a driveway which would otherwise collaterally protect delivery vehicle access to such mailboxes by virtue of state statutes prohibiting parking within four feet of a driveway. In the absence of a driveway, persons parking on the street often park in front of such mailboxes causing interruption in mail delivery to such mailboxes. Pursuant to the authority granted under Wis. Stats. §349.13(1e)(a), no person shall park within (4) feet of any mailbox authorized for receipt of mail service by the US Postal Service located for roadside mail delivery between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday."
