Thanks to a good long-range forecast, increasing ground temperatures and street sweeping progress, Community Services Director Lane Berg, in accordance with authority granted by the City code of ordinances, has issued an order suspending Alternate Side Parking restrictions in the City of Eau Claire effective today through May 1, 2024. Parking will now be permitted on both sides of the street until November 1, 2024, except in those locations where permanent or temporary parking restrictions are posted or marked.
The City has historically used the parking restrictions to conduct an extensive city-wide street cleaning operation to remove debris from roadsides and gutters, preventing it from entering our storm drains and polluting our rivers. These operations are near completion and normal street sweeping will continue through the summer and into fall.
