February 9, 2020 Updated from the city of Minneapolis:
- Tuesday, Feb. 11, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Day 3)
- Do not park on the ODD numbered side of a non-Snow Emergency route until 8 p.m., or that side of the street is fully plowed.
Updated from the city of St. Paul:
- Beginning at 8 a.m. on Tueday, 2/10/2020, all DAY PLOW ROUTES will be plowed. Do not park on Day Plow Routes. Day Plow Routes are not marked by signs. If there are no “Night Plow" signs posted within the block, then consider it a Day Plow Route.
- Vehicles which are not moved from Day Plow Routes by 8 a.m. 2/10/2020, will be ticketed and towed.
- Always follow all posted street signs. Do not park vehicles where signs indicate "No Parking." A Snow Emergency lasts 96 hours, or until February 13, 2020 at 9 p.m. To avoid a ticket or tow, do not park in areas where streets are not plowed to the curb.
- SHOVEL YOUR SIDEWALK, DO NOT PUT CARTS ON THE STREET, & CLEAR HYDRANTS & STORM DRAINS
- Shovel your sidewalk. Saint Paul City Ordinance requires snow and ice to be removed from sidewalks within 24 hours. Corner property owners are asked to shovel curbs, walkways and crosswalks to the street. Do not push snow out into the streets.
- Please do not place recycling and garbage carts in the street. Carts should be kept in the boulevard or at the end of the driveway.
- If you are able, please shovel hydrants out and clear snow and ice off storm drains to prevent street flooding.
