FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Police ‘Focus In’ on night and snow parking regulations
Edina, Minn., Nov. 6, 2013 – As a part of the 2013 “Focus In” campaign, Edina patrol officers will focus
efforts on night and snow parking regulations in November.
Seasonal parking restrictions went into effect this month. Residents are reminded to keep their vehicles off
the streets from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. Nov. 1 through March 31 and to remove their vehicles from the road after
1.5 inches or more of snow has fallen. Once streets and roadways have been plowed to the curb line,
residents can then park vehicles on designated roadways.
Education will include a warning to those who violate the statutes or codes. In extenuating circumstances, a
citation may be issued.
“Focus In” is a campaign aimed to educate the public and gain compliance with various state statutes and
ordinances. The violations the Police Department focuses on have seasonal relevance, affect the quality of life
in Edina or pose safety risks to residents. All statutes are enforced year-round, but additional attention is paid
to the focus of the month.
This year, Police have already focused on obstructed vision, failure to signal, unsafe equipment and failure to
display headlights, bike safety, curfew laws, pedestrian safety, child safety and seat belts, school bus stop arms
and school speed zones. In the last month of the campaign, police will “Focus In” on the “move over” law.
For more information, contact the Edina Police Department at 952-826-1610.
