Winter Parking Restrictions Start Today!

Street sign with text No Parking on City Streets from 2 - 6 a.m. or after a 2 inch snowfall

There is no parking on City streets between the hours of 2 a.m.-6 a.m. from November 1st through April 1st. In addition, after a two-inch snowfall or greater No Parking is automatically enforced on City streets, day or night, until snowplowing has been completed.

These parking restrictions are to allow snowplows to effectively clear snow from City streets. Cars can be ticketed for violating this rule even if there is no snow falling, or on the ground.

Other Snow-related Reminders

Keep Snow and Objects off the Roadway

Snowplow drivers would like to remind citizens not to push snow from driveways onto the street. Any snow left on the road or side of the road can freeze and create a hazard for snowplow drivers and equipment if they catch the frozen ridge with their plow.

Minnesota Statutes prohibit plowing, shoveling, blowing, or depositing snow on a public street. The violation is a misdemeanor. In addition, the property owner and/or person dumping the snow could be liable for damages.

Also just a reminder to keep garbage and recycling cans, as well as basketball hoops and other objects from the roadway. These items should be kept in the driveway and should not extend into the street making it difficult to remove snow effectively.

Clear Snow from Hydrants and Mailboxes

Please help out by clearing snow from fire hydrants and mailboxes near your house. Public Works staff try to keep the snow clear from hydrants, but it is impossible to do until all streets and sidewalks are cleared. Your help is greatly appreciated by Public Works, Firefighters and Postal Carriers.
