The garden care season may finally be over. On Friday, December 10th, about 1 foot of snow fell in Owatonna. When you finish cleaning up, please pay attention to some reminders from the city of Owatonna. Winter parking restrictions will be implemented every day from November 15th to March 31st of the following year. The odd-even parking time is from 12 am to 12 pm every day.

In a press release in early November, the city also reminded residents, “It is the responsibility of homeowners to ensure that their mailboxes are firmly fixed on solid pillars to withstand the deflection of the plow. The mailboxes damaged by the snow from the plows are houses The responsibility of the Lord."

“The city’s police and public works departments are committed to using snow removal methods that use people, equipment, and other resources as safely and efficiently as possible, and to inform the community about parking restrictions to prevent the need for tow trucks.”

Regarding the sidewalks in the downtown, the city stated, “The new downtown streetscape includes raised crosswalks, walkable alleys and bumps on the curb to help realize the project’s vision to improve accessibility and pedestrian safety. Urban Work The personnel are responsible for clearing the snow and ice fields on these sidewalks."

“The area that businesses in the city center must eradicate remains the same — from the storefront directly to the roadside. In the area where flower pots are installed, businesses have the responsibility to clear the ice and snow around flower pots adjacent to the street. At 200, there are still roadblocks. In case, the construction contractor will help clear the snow from the sidewalk."
