Wait to clear your driveway until the full width of your street has been plowed so you only have to shovel once. While clearing streets, snowplows may inadvertently push snow from the road into driveways that have already been shoveled.
Police enforce a parking ban during snow emergencies. To see if a snow emergency has been declared, visit the City’s website and look for an alert stripe at the top of each page, or call the Snow Emergency Hotline at 952-563-8768.
Keeping fire hydrants clear is vital to helping firefighters protect your neighborhood from house fires. Accessible hydrants lessen the time it takes firefighters to extinguish a fire.
Keep kids safe by keeping sleds and snow forts away from the street. Plows can’t always see them, and snow piles can collapse.
