The Village of Winnebago, Illinois

SNOW EMERGENCY:  A snow emergency is in effect after 2 inches of snow has fallen, and will remain in effect until ALL streets are cleared.  During a Snow Emergency, parking is not allowed on any street within the corporate limits of the Village of Winnebago.  The Police Department is authorized to issue citations for failing to comply with the provision of Ordinance #04-21 and shall issue a fine of not less than $25.00 nor more than $50.00 for each offense.  (Each day of violation constitutes a separate offense).  In the case of these emergencies, the community can help by shoveling driveway aprons after the snowplows have stopped plowing and the street is cleared of snow.  If you need to travel, remember to keep a safe distance behind any snowplow or salt trucks.  The public’s cooperation is greatly appreciated. (Refer to Ordinance #04-21 for additional information which is available on the Government tab of website, or type in the search box  “ordinance”.) Thank you! .  Please call the office should you have any questions at 815-335-2020.
