SNOW SEASON PARKING:  Snow Season Parking goes into effect November 1, 2011 through April 1, 2012.  No vehicles can be parked on any street, avenue, or alley between the hours of 2:00 a.m. - 7:00 a.m.  This is regulated by City Ordinance Section 712.01 and is enforced.  Don't take a chance on having your vehicle towed.  All vehicles parked in public parking lots must be moved at a minimum every 24 hours.

SNOW ACCUMULATION:  It is unlawful for any person to park a vehicle on any street after continuous or intermittent snow fall during which there has been an accumulation of two inches or more of snow on any street until the same has been plowed or removed from the full width of roadway.  This Section does not apply to the area zoned "Central Business District" in the Delano Land Use and Zoning Code.

SIDEWALKS:  Snow and ice must be removed from public sidewalks within 48 hours after a snowfall.  CLICK HERE to find out how to give your neighbor a friendly reminder!  To read the full chapter click on the following: Section 718.01. Snow and Ice Removal on Public Sidwalks.

MAILBOXES:  The property owner is responsible for shoveling snow from around their mailbox to ensure delivery of mail.  The City is NOT responsible should your mailbox get hit by a City vehicle while snowplowing.

FIRE HYDRANTS:  Although not governed by City Ordinance, your cooperation is needed to keep snow cleared from fire hydrants.  If you have a hydrant located near your home, please assist the Fire Department by shoveling snow from around the hydrant.  Your assistance could save your life and your property.

STORM DRAINS:  Again your cooperation is needed to keep the storm drains clear of leaves and debris to prevent clogged and plugged storm drains.

Minnesota State Statute (160.2715) prohibits plowing, shoveling,
 blowing or in any way depositing snow on any public highway.

Please keep your snow removal on your own property and not your neighbors.
