Woodbury Winter Parking Rules Now in Effect

While snow hadn’t hit Woodbury as of Monday, the city’s winter parking rules are in effect.

Parking on city streets is banned between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. from Nov. 1 through April 1.

Also, on-street parking is prohibited any time two or more inches of snow have accumulated, and people can’t park on the street until the road has been completely plowed.

The two-inch guideline applies to any hour of the day, any time of the year.

“Parking regulations are strictly enforced throughout the winter season to help ensure the city can provide the most effective snow and ice control service possible,” reads a notice from Woodbury. “The winter parking ordinance does not apply to private streets (marked with a blue street sign), only to public roadways. Residents who violate the ordinance will be issued an administrative citation. Please be sure to remind guests of the parking regulations.”

Mailboxes

Meanwhile, residents also are asked to check their mailboxes now and make any necessary repairs to ensure the mailbox can withstand the winter plowing season—when snow is pushed up against the boxes on boulevards.

Woodbury will repair or replace a mailbox if it is hit by a plow, but the city will not repair or replace any additional items attached to the post (including but not limited to newspaper boxes, planters, flags or decorative items).

Also, if the mailbox or attachments are damaged this winter due to snow discharge or snow storage, the city will not be responsible for repairs.

Questions about the winter parking regulations, snow removal procedures or the mailbox policy may be directed to Public Works at 651-714-3720 or publicworks@ci.woodbury.mn.us.
