A Note From the New Glarus Police Department

<strong>Alternate side winter parking began November 15, 2022, and ends March 31, 2023. </strong> This requires anyone parking a vehicle on a Village street to park on the even side of the street on even days and on the odd side of the street on odd days, which is enforced between 1:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. This means you should park on the side of the street where houses have even numbers on the even days and vice versa.
