Winter Snow Information Ramsey’s Public Works Department is dedicated to ensuring our roads are safe and accessible during winter weather. Here’s what you need to know: Plowing will start once the snowfall reaches two inches. Usually, the snowplows begin their work around 2:00 a.m. ? ey ? rst clear the main roads, then move on to neighborhood streets and ? nally tackle trails and sidewalks. ? e crews will be • responsible for clearing 860 intersections, 301 • cul-de-sacs and over 190 miles of paved roads, as well as two gravel roads. • Several factors aﬀ ect how snowplowing is done, including the weather conditions, how quickly the snow • builds up and the order in which streets are cleared. ? e type of salt used on the roads depends on the • temperature. To assist with snow removal, you can mark your • property line with free stakes that are available at the Public Works Facility. Each household may take up to six stakes. ? ese stakes should be placed 20 to 30 feet apart • along the edges of your property. You can use ? berglass or aluminum stakes with re? ectors, but make sure they are • breakaway types—NO metal fence posts. • Please note that parking is not allowed on any public • street year-round from 2:00 to 6:00 a.m. Vehicles parked • during these hours could be cited or towed. During a snow event, the City asks that residents refrain from parking on • City streets until the roads have been cleared. Remember to keep your garbage and recycling containers in your driveway, behind the curb and oﬀ the street. Also, don’t forget to remove basketball hoops from FACTS cul-de-sacs during winter to help crews plow the roads eﬀ ectively. If you need to ? nd out about snow activities outside regular hours, you can call our Snow Activity Information Line at 763-433-9852. ? is line is only in use during the snowplowing season and will not be monitored for messages.
