Block Parties

A Block Party Request Form (PDF) may be downloaded or obtained at the Police Department and submitted at least 15 business days prior to the requested date. At least three-fourths of the households on the block where the event is to occur must approve the block party.

Snow Emergency Days

When a snow emergency has been declared, all vehicles must be removed from the streets. This means once your street is cleared on both sides, you may park on the street again. For more information, view the Snow and Ice Removal and Snow Emergencies page for the City of Madison Heights.
