Winter parking regulations are in effect from Nov. 1 to March 31.
During these months, no parking is allowed on any city street from 2 to 6 a.m. except for within the Calendar Zone: the area north of 10th Avenue and west of Marschall Road in gray below. In the Calendar Zone, odd/even parking rules apply.
 On even-numbered days between 2 and 6 a.m., parking is allowed on the even-numbered side of the street. On odd-numbered days, parking is only allowed between 2 and 6 a.m. on the odd-numbered side of the street.
After a snowfall of two or more inches, a snow emergency is declared and parking restrictions are effective 24 hours a day until the snow has been plowed curb to curb. Additionally, no parking is permitted on snow routes, which are labeled with signs, during a snow emergency.
Vehicles parked in violation of these rules shall be tagged and subject to towing, at the owner’s expense.

Introducing: Shakopee Snapshot
After years of faithfully serving the community as the Hometown Messenger, the quarterly City of Shakopee newsletter is starting a new chapter with a fresh name: Shakopee Snapshot.
The new name was submitted by Shakopee resident Cynthia Mathenge in a community contest that invited residents to submit name ideas.
The City of Shakopee Communications Department staff chose four submissions as finalists, and the winner was chosen in a vote that was open to all city staff.
“Snapshot, to me, was a fitting name because the Hometown Messenger always captures all the right activities going on in Shakopee that are inviting to anyone who reads it,” Mathenge said.
“My hope is that the people of Shakopee can feel invited to take part in community events and create their own snapshot moments.”
Shakopee Snapshot will be hitting mailboxes in late November. The Snapshot will also contain the Winter 2023-24 Parks and Recreation Brochure. Registration opens at 6 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28 at www.ShakopeeMN.gov/registration.
