5 • Arden Hills Notes • Nov. 2025 <br />Snow Plowing and Snow Removal <br />With winter almost here, the City’s Public Works team is ready to keep roads <br />safe and clear throughout the season. The City’s policy states plowing typically <br />begins when two inches of snow have accumulated or after a snowstorm has <br />subsided. However, crews may start plowing earlier when needed. This helps <br />keep streets safe and clear before morning and evening rush hours, allowing <br />residents to travel safely and efficiently. Please note that Arden Hills does not <br />maintain a “dry pavement” policy. This means roads may remain snow-packed <br />or slippery in some areas. Drivers, walkers and cyclists are encouraged to use <br />extra caution and good judgment when traveling during the winter months. <br />Crews work hard to clear snow efficiently, and plows will get as close as possible <br />to mailboxes. Residents are responsible for clearing snow around their own mailboxes and nearby fire hydrants to <br />ensure safe access for mail delivery and emergency services. The City also plows sidewalks and trails as conditions <br />allow. However, some trails may remain unplowed if icing makes them too steep or unsafe for equipment. <br /> <br />Parking Restrictions <br />To ensure safe and efficient snow removal, the City reminds residents that on-street parking is not allowed after <br />a snowfall of two or more inches. Parking can resume once plowing has been completed. Keeping streets clear <br />of parked vehicles allows snowplows to operate safely and effectively—helping crews clear the roads faster and <br />ensuring everyone can travel safely. Vehicles left on the street during active snow removal may receive a citation and <br />could be towed by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department if necessary for safety. Remember, on-street parking is <br />prohibited city-wide between 2-6 a.m. year-round. Residents can apply for an overnight parking permit for specific <br />events and for motorized vehicles only. By working together, we can help keep Arden Hills’ streets safe and accessible <br />all winter long. <br />November 17-21 is Winter Hazard Awareness Week. To help Minnesota residents minimize the risks of winter, <br />the Minnesota Department of Public Safety sponsors Winter Hazard <br />Awareness Week each fall in collaboration with the National Weather <br />Service and other state, federal and non-profit agencies. <br />The week-long campaign will include media and digital promotions, <br />information and resources that can be used with school, church or civic <br />programs. Topics include winter storms, outdoor winter safety, winter <br />fire safety, indoor winter safety and winter driving.
