Resident urges update to snow-emergency mapping after ticket despite online map

City of Racine Common Council · May 19, 2026

Summary

A resident said he received a snow-emergency parking ticket even though his address was not highlighted on the city’s online map; he cited ordinance 94-217 and asked the city to clarify the ordinance, ensure a map is on file, and improve online mapping to prevent future confusion.

Scott Kinnerman told the council he checked the city’s website when a snow emergency was declared and found his address was not listed in the red arterial-route map; nonetheless he received a ticket the next morning. He referenced the municipal code (the snow-emergency ordinance) and said paragraph 1 of section 94-217 requires a map on file at the clerk’s office.

Kinnerman described visiting the clerk’s office and being handed a printout of the website rather than an official on-file map and said the digitization process has introduced ambiguity between the street-list and the official map. He asked the council to update the ordinance or the online materials and to clarify the official map so that other residents are not ticketed in error.
