City of Plymouth residents can rest assured that preparations for the snow-covered months are in full swing. As per the city's guidelines, a snowfall of 2 inches or more activates a snow emergency, initiating citywide plowing and triggering specific parking regulations to facilitate the removal process. In a statement obtained by the City of Plymouth, officials emphasize their commitment: "the goal is to have all streets and cul-de-sacs cleared within nine hours after snow quits falling." For lesser snowfalls, only the main roadways and designated secondary streets will see the plow's blade.
Residents need to remember that parking on city streets after a 2-inch snowfall is prohibited until the streets have been cleared curb-to-curb. This parking ban is crucial for plows to successfully clear the streets and is enforced year-round from 2:00-5:00 A.M. According to the City of Plymouth, vehicles left on the street during these windows may face ticketing and even towing.
Should locals encounter any plowing issues, icy patches, or damage from the winter operations, they can report these incidences through the city's online portal at plymouthmn.gov/myplymouth. Additionally, the City of Plymouth offers a helpful Live Plow Map, which tracks plow progress in near-real time, accessible at plymouthmn.gov/liveplowmap. This feature helps residents to stay informed on the snowplowing efforts in their immediate vicinity.
