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
