Crystal Reminds Residents About Winter Parking Restrictions
The City of Crystal declares snow-related parking restrictions when a storm is clearly going to or already is impacting travel and clearing efforts.
City of Crystal, like many cities, has specific rules when snowstorms necessitate an emergency in the city.
On-street parking is prohibited between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. year-round. After a snowfall of at least 1.5 inches in the city, parking is prohibited on all public streets and alleys until the snow has stopped accumulating and the street or alley has been plowed edge to edge. Vehicles parked on streets or alleys during snow emergencies may be tagged and/or towed at the owner’s expense.
If garbage/recycling containers must be out during this time, please be sure that they are located at least 3 feet in from the curb line in order to minimize potential impacts from plowing operations. City of Crystal snow emergencies are announced on the city’s website (crystalmn.gov); Facebook, Twitter and Nextdoor accounts; and are provided to local radio and television stations and CCX Media cable television.
