FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Winter parking regulations begin
Edina, Minn., Nov. 8, 2011 – Winter parking regulations in Edina began Nov. 1.
No vehicles may be parked on a City street, highway or alley under the following conditions:
When 1.5 inches or more of snow has fallen, until it has been plowed to the curbline.
For six hours after the snowfall stops, unless traffic signs specifically allow you to do so or if
you are engaged in certain job-related activities as described in the City Code.
From 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. Nov. 1 to March 31.
It is important for residents keep their vehicles off roadways during this time. Edina’s Public Works
Department has a reputation for providing top-notch snow removal services, but staff members
need your help.
“It’s very difficult to plow the streets to the curb when there are parked cars on the roadways,” said
Street Team Leader Shawn Anderson. “We want to do the best job we can, and with the help of
residents, we’ll be able to provide a quality service.”
By parking in the driveway or lots, residents will avoid the $32 parking ticket for violating a City
parking ordinance, as well as avoid the inconvenience associated with towing.
Winter parking regulations are in effect until March 31.
