Winter Parking Restrictions Kick In November 1st

(KNSI) – As Mother Nature turns down the thermostat, winter parking restrictions will begin in St. Cloud and the surrounding communities.

The seasonal restrictions start November 1st and remain in effect until March 31st, regardless of snowfall. Violators will be given a ticket and, in the event of a snow emergency, will be towed.

St. Cloud has three different parking regulations. Parking is based on odd/even days in the city’s seven core neighborhoods. On odd-numbered days, drivers should park on the even side of the street between 1:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.; on even-numbered days, drivers must park on the odd side of the street.

For the rest of the city, except for near the campus of St. Cloud State University, there is a seasonal parking ban. That means parking isn’t allowed on any public street between 1:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. If the street is paved and is less than 32 feet wide, there is no parking at any time.

Around SCSU, it alternates by day. Some streets have no parking on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while other roads ban leaving your car overnight on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Sartell’s restrictions bar parking on any street or alleyway from November through March between 1:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Vehicles may be ticketed and towed. St. Augusta has no parking on the street between 1:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. November through March.

In Sauk Rapids, St. Joseph and Waite Park, there is no parking on the street between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. during the winter.
