City of #,,k <br />RAMSEY <br />September 23, 2025 <br />Dear Village of Sunfish Lake Resident, <br />7550 Sunwood Drive NW • Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />City Hall: 763.427.1410 • Fax: 763.427.5543 <br />www. cityoframs ey. c om <br />First, I want to extend my appreciation for your patience this summer while work was being completed <br />on the streets in your neighborhood. I understand construction can be inconvenient and messy, but I <br />am hopeful you found the end result to be worth the inconvenience and the wait. <br />The purpose of this letter is to inform you that by request of many of your neighbors, your mail carrier, <br />and the City's first -responders and snowplow drivers, parking will soon be restricted to one side of most <br />public streets in the Village of Sunfish Lake, and will be prohibited on both sides around the community <br />amenity space on the East end of 146th Lane. Enclosed is a figure showing the sides of streets where no - <br />parking zones will be implemented using no -parking signs (see red lines). These parking restrictions are <br />needed since these streets are narrower than typical residential city streets. Parking will be allowed on <br />both sides of Radium Street since this street is wider now that the median island has been removed. <br />Utility locators will soon start painting marks on the ground to identify the locations of electric, gas, <br />telecommunications, sewer, and water utility lines. City Public Works crews will then install sign bases, <br />followed by posts with no -parking signs. Once no -parking signs are installed per City Ordinance 54-33, <br />the Ramsey Police Department can begin enforcing the signs by issuing written warnings and/or parking <br />citations due to improper parking. When no -parking locations change, Ramsey Police Officers use <br />discretion when enforcing parking violations. In this instance, education through written warnings will <br />be enlisted for 30 days, though citations may be issued sooner to repeat offenders or as needed to keep <br />the streets clear for emergencies and/or snow removal operations. Additionally, it should be noted that <br />per Ramsey City Ordinance 54-38(b), parking on either side of any city street is not permitted between <br />2:00 and 6:00 am. <br />These parking restrictions will ensure uninterrupted mail service, allow for faster response times by first - <br />responders, improve driver visibility and pedestrian safety, and allow for more efficient and thorough <br />plowing and sweeping of streets. Please remember, overnight parking is prohibited on all City streets <br />year-round. Feel free to contact me at 763-433-9825 or bwestbvC@citvoframsev.com with any questions <br />regarding this letter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bruce Westby, City Engineer/Public Works Director <br />Enclosure: No Parking Zones Figure <br />It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient <br />government services, <br />
