Summary
From November 1 through April 1, Mosinee bans parking or leaving any vehicle standing on any city street or highway between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. The rule runs on top of the code's other posted parking limits and applies citywide during the cold-weather months, clearing streets for winter maintenance.
When signs or parking meters are erected in any block giving notice thereof, no person shall park or leave standing any vehicle for longer than the period specified upon any of the following highways, streets of parts thereof, except temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in receiving or discharging passengers: ... (1)All-night parking on any street or highway between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. of any day from November 1 to April 1.
Full Breakdown
on any day from November 1 to April 1, except while actually receiving or discharging passengers. The same section lists other, narrower time-limited zones tied to specific addresses and signs, such as a restriction near a church on Sixth Street and a one-hour business-day limit on Main Street, but the November-to-April overnight rule is not tied to a single block; it runs on every city street during those months. The seasonal ban exists alongside the year-round 24-hour rule in section 78-101 and the declared snow-emergency rule in section 78-146, so a vehicle parked overnight between November 1 and April 1 can be in violation even on a night when no separate snow emergency has been declared.
The public works director and police department are responsible for enforcing the restriction, and the common council retains authority to adjust posted parking limits under section 78-101 where a stricter or looser rule is warranted.
Violations & Fines
Parking overnight between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. from November 1 to April 1 is enforced under the Code's general penalty, section 1-13: a first offense carries a forfeiture of $25.00 to $500.00 plus costs of prosecution, doubling to $50.00 to $1,000.00 for a repeat violation within a year. A vehicle left in violation may also be towed and stored at the owner's expense.
