Snow Information

Snow Emergencies

The residents of the City of Green Bay are advised that snow emergencies may be announced during the 2011-12 winter season.

If the area experiences severe weather conditions that include heavy and/or blowing snow, the City of Green Bay may be compelled to quickly declare a “SNOW EMERGENCY” and announce it through the local news media. Please tune in to local news stations for the latest information.

If such SNOW EMERGENCY is declared, ANY AND ALL VEHICLES MUST BE REMOVED FROM CITY STREETS. Failing to do so will result in parking citations and/or towing fees.

Please cooperate in moving vehicles off streets in any snow emergency so that the Department of Public Works can clear the streets of snow as effectively and as quickly as possible to benefit all.

Sidewalk Snow and Ice Removal

In accordance with City Ordinance 9.30, owners, renters, and persons in charge of real estate are reminded that all snow and ice must be removed from sidewalk (full width and length) within 24 hours after snow or ice has fallen.

Prior to 2011, properties found in violation of the snow/ice ordinance were notified and given 24 more hours to clear their sidewalks.  The enforcement practice has been changed beginning this winter, eliminating the 24-hour grace period to clear sidewalk.  Any property now found in violation will be addressed by the Department of Public Works immediately without prior notification by the City.

Failure to clear sidewalks within 24 hours after a storm ends will result in the City removing the snow and/or ice and charging the actual cost of the work to property owner.  In addition, anyone failing to properly remove snow and/or ice from their sidewalk may be issued a citation that could result in a fine of up to $500.00 for 2nd and subsequent incidents.  City of Green Bay Department of Public Works asks all residents to comply with the snow/ice ordinance to promote pedestrian safety, and eliminate the chance of invoices and citations.
