Winter is on the horizon and that means Roseville plow drivers will soon be out on the streets and the City of Roseville’s winter parking restrictions go into effect. The city typically deploys up to a 16-person team to plow streets after each snow event.
No parking is allowed on most city streets when there has been two inches or more of snowfall until the street has been plowed curb to curb.
This winter, the city will allow limited street parking during snowfall in six designated areas as part of the Winter Parking Pilot Project.
The pilot project is designed to allow for much-needed street parking in areas near multifamily housing complexes but still ensures that all city streets are properly plowed.
City crews have installed new signs in the designated areas. The new signs allow parking on one side of the street (blue side) when there is a snow event. Once the street is plowed, residents must move their vehicles to the other side of the street (green side) so the remainder of the street can be plowed.
“We recognize the financial hardship and frustration the tickets can cause to individuals and families, so we’re using this project to provide additional parking options and reduce those penalties on individuals and families." – Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer
Snow Plow Tips
- Place garbage and recycling bins on your driveway apron on trash day instead of on the curb. This will allow plow drivers to more thoroughly clear the street and will help prevent carts from being toppled by plowing activities.
- Don’t park your car on the street after a 2” snowfall until the street has been plowed curb to curb. When 2” of snow has accumulated, on-street parking is banned and vehicles could be ticketed and/or towed.
- Avoid plowing snow back into the road when you are clearing your own driveway and walkways.
- Please be patient with pedestrian pathway plowing. City public works crews plow roadways first and parks crews follow up with pedestrian paths after a snow event.
