Calendar Day Parking Reminder

Calendar day parking regulations are in effect until May 1 in the City of Eau Claire. Even though the snow may be gone, April is the main month that street sweeping is conducted to clean roads of the sand and debris deposited during the winter months. Calendar day parking regulations assist with street cleaning as well as snow removal.

Starting April 10, street sweepers will be operating between the hours of Midnight and 6:00 a.m. until the streets are clear of sand and debris. Calendar day parking regulations will be enforced until the street cleaning is complete and the parking regulation is lifted, or May 1 (whichever comes first).
