Full Notification

The City of Janesville has declared a winter weather emergency beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, January 24, 2022. A winter weather emergency means that all parked vehicles must be removed from City streets until snow and ice control operations are complete. Due to the timing of this notice, vehicles that are left on City streets will not be cited. However, citizens are urged to move vehicles off-street to ensure effective and safe plowing operations.
 
Main and arterial streets have been maintained throughout the duration of the winter weather event. Due to the snow accumulation, the condition of the streets, and the forecasted cold temperatures, the City will plow all residential streets beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Monday.
