FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edina Winter Parking Restrictions Go Into Effect Nov. 1
Edina, Minn., Oct. 31, 2025 – As November arrives and winter weather approaches, Edina residents and visitors are reminded of the winter parking rules in effect for the city:
From Nov. 1 through March 31, vehicles cannot be parked on city streets overnight between 1 and 6 a.m. (regardless of the weather forecast)
No vehicle may be parked on any street after a snowfall of at least 1.5 inches until the street has been plowed to the curb line (enforceable year-round)
Recycling and garbage must also be kept off the street (enforceable year-round and especially important during winter)
Snow removal is one of the most praised City services by residents, and limiting street parking in the cold weather months allows the Public Works Department to pre-treat, de-ice and
clear snow from streets more quickly, efficiently and safely.
“Following the parking rules put in place during winter months helps us keep streets clear for everyone's safety and comfort,” said Assistant Public Works Director Dave Goergen. “Help
make your and your neighbors' winter easier and protect the safety of all involved by keeping these rules in mind."
The Edina Police Department may cite violators of the winter parking rules or, if necessary, tow their vehicles. If a vehicle is obstructing the path of a snowplow and needs to be moved,
Police will make every effort to reach the vehicle owner. However, if the owner cannot be contacted, the vehicle will be towed.
Illegally parked vehicles not only slow down plowing operations, but they can create hazardous situations for drivers. In a snowstorm, plow drivers may not see a parked car and hit it
by accident. Parked cars can also get blocked or buried by banks of plowed snow making them difficult for other drivers to see.
For more information on winter parking ordinances, contact the Police Department at 952-826-1610. To learn more about snow plowing procedures, contact the Public Works Department at
952-826-0376.
