MADISON, Wis. — The City of Madison is working to clear city streets as snow continues to fall Tuesday morning.
In a statement, the City asked residents to choose off-street parking options. The city is closing large item collection, and the Street Division drop-off sites will be closed for all of Tuesday. Trash and recycling collection will continue, but it will be delayed.
The City said once the snow stops, the plowing will begin. The Streets Division and Parks and Engineering will work with heavy equipment contractors. In all, 150 pieces of plowing equipment will be used to clear Madison’s 1,800 miles of traffic lanes. The City said it takes between 12 and 16 hours before all streets get cleared.
