Parking Restrictions Imposed to Stop UWM Students from Parking in Shorewood
The southeastern portion of Shorewood will change to two hour during the day, starting July 15.
New parking restrictions, in the village's southeastern corner, will go into effect July 15 to keep University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee students from parking in Shorewood.
In the area stretching west from North Lake Drive to North Oakland Avenue and south from East Capitol Drive to East Edgewood Avenue will be limited to two-hour parking from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The Village Board approved the new ordinance back in February, after Shorewood residents complained about UWM students parking in the area all day, leaving little street parking.

Residents in the area can purchase a $5 special permit, allowing them to park for longer than the two hours at Village Hall, 3930 N. Murray Ave. Proof of residency is required to be granted the permit.
