The City of Sheboygan, under the direction of Mayor Ryan Sorenson, has declared a Snow Emergency beginning Sunday, March 15, 2026, at 6:00 AM. Residents are urged to follow snow emergency guidelines to assist with efficient snow removal and ensure public safety. 

Starting at 6:00am on Sunday March 15, residents must park on the ODD side (south and east) of streets. Residents parked on Snow Emergency Routes are highly encouraged to find alternate parking prior to the start of the snow. 

Starting at 6:00 AM, parking of vehicles on designated snow emergency routes, boulevards, cul-de-sacs, and dead-end streets is completely prohibited during the duration of the snow emergency. Vehicles can ONLY return to these streets after the City of Sheboygan announces the end of snow emergency operations. 

Parking on all other streets will follow all-day alternate side parking.

Snow Emergency Parking Guidelines 

During the snow emergency, the following parking regulations will be in effect: 

• All-Day Alternate Side Parking: Vehicles on non-snow emergency routes/boulevards/cul-de-sacs/dead-end streets must follow all-day alternate side parking, based on the calendar date.

• Suspended One-Side Parking Restrictions: One-side parking restrictions will be temporarily lifted, and vehicles must follow alternate side parking on streets where parking is not prohibited. 

• Post-Snowplowing Vehicle Relocation: Once the plows have cleared the curb (typically in two to three passes), vehicles should be moved to the plowed side of the street before 12:00 AM on Monday. 

• Vehicles on non-prohibited streets must be moved to the even side of the street (north and west) after the plow has cleared snow from the opposite side of the street and before midnight on Monday morning. 

• Off-Street Parking Encouraged: Residents are strongly encouraged to park off-street whenever possible to assist with efficient snow removal. 

• Enforcement & Towing: Vehicles parked in violation of the snow emergency rules will be ticketed and towed.  Vehicle in violation of the Snow Emergency parking restrictions are subject to a $50 parking violation and towing fees.

The Junior Police Academy is now accepting applications for its Summer 2026 Sessions! We are offering two sessions this summer: Session 1 runs from June 15th to June 19th, 2026 and Session 2 runs from June 22nd to June 26th, 2026.

Many students view the police officer only in the role of “enforcer.” Junior Police Academy is designed to take the mystery out of law enforcement and provide a comfortable setting which allows officers and students to interact in an environment free from enforcement. It provides an opportunity for officers and students to see each other as people, rather than as adversaries.

For more information and to register, please visit our Junior Police Academy page. The deadline to register is the end of the day on Friday, May 15th, 2026. If you have questions, please email School Resource Officer Jeremy Kegler.
