Coon Rapids City Full Plow Began At 4:30 a.m.

Coon Rapids City Full Plow Began At 4:30 a.m.

All snowplow crews began a full plow of the city at 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 5.

A full plow includes all main streets, residential streets and cul-de-sac areas maintained by the City. The process takes several hours to complete, thank you for your patience and cooperation!

Sidewalks will also be cleared within 48 hours.

Please remember to keep parked vehicles off streets until they have been cleared from curb to curb. We ask for your patience and cooperation keeping streets clear from obstructions that will slow down plows and make it more difficult to clear the snow.

Stay safe, drive slow, and please keep parked cars, garbage bins and other items out of the streets!

Fire Hydrants

It is the responsibility of all residents to remove snow from fire hydrants nearest to their home.

Clear a path three feet around the hydrant.

This is for the safety of you and your property. Cleared hydrants reduce response time in the event of an emergency, so that first responders do not have to shovel out the hydrant before firefighting operations can begin.

Winter Parking Rules

While the overnight street parking ban is only in effect from Nov. 1 to April 1, keeping vehicles, garbage cans and other items out of the street during spring snowfalls will help crews achieve the most thorough cleanup possible.

Garbage & Recycling Bins

Please keep garbage and recycling carts out of the street, behind the curb.

City Code requires streets remain free of obstructions so the plow can go by and clean thoroughly.

Other obstructions must be out of the roadway as well, including basketball hoops, hockey nets and other items.

Winter Parking Rules

No street parking between 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. each night.

No street parking anytime of day or night when there is an accumulation of three inches of snow or more, until the street has been plowed from curb-to-curb.

Parking can only resume after a snowplow has gone by and the street has been thoroughly cleaned from curb-to-curb.

Winter parking restrictions are always in effect Nov. 1-April 1.

 If a vehicle is blocking the path of a snowplow, the vehicle owner could receive a ticket or the car could be towed.

Garbage & Recycling Bins

Please keep garbage and recycling carts out of the street, behind the curb.

City Code requires streets remain free of obstructions so the plow can go by and clean thoroughly.

Other obstructions must be out of the roadway as well, including basketball hoops, hockey nets and other items.
