March 28, 2023: EFFECTIVE MARCH 29, 2023, THE PARKING BAN IS SUSPENDED IN BOTH MINNEAPOLIS AND SAINT PAUL. UNLESS A SNOW EMERGENCY IS DECLARED, RESUME PARKING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
In both Minneapolis and Saint Paul, if an EV Spot Charger is on the EVEN side of a restricted street, the parking ban is moved to the ODD side of the street to allow for Evie’s and personally-owned electric vehicles to charge.
Saint Paul: (In Effect Through April 15, 2023)
March 8, 2023:
The City of Saint Paul has declared a winter parking ban on the EVEN side of residential streets. Per the City of Saint Paul, [these restrictions are] “…in effect beginning on Friday, March 10 at 8 a.m. Parking is not allowed on even-numbered sides of residential streets. In Saint Paul, the even-numbered side of the street is typically the south or east side of the street. Residents and visitors must park on the odd side of residential streets and follow all posted parking rules on arterial (main) streets. The 1-sided parking ban will be in effect until April 15, or earlier if the city determines the street conditions allow the ban to be lifted.” Learn more here.
Minneapolis: (in Effect Through April 1, 2023)
Update January 27, 2023:
If an EV Spot Charger is on the EVEN side of a street, the City of Minneapolis will move the no parking restriction to the ODD side of the street to allow vehicles to park and charge. When parking, look for no parking signs along the street sides.
Original Post January 25, 2023:
To improve access for emergency vehicles, the City of Minneapolis has enacted Winter Parking Restrictions, beginning 9pm Thursday, January 26 and ending April 1 (unless the ban is lifted earlier).
Streets will be signed with temporary “No Parking” signs, and any vehicle (including Evie Carshare) will be ticketed and towed to keep the road clear for EMS vehicles.
WINTER PARKING RULES:
Unless otherwise posted, you CAN park:
- on the ODD side of the streets that are NOT Snow Emergency Routes
- on BOTH sides of Snow Emergency Routes (when parking is allowed on both sides)
- on BOTH sides of parkways (where parking is allowed)
Do NOT park:
- on the EVEN side of streets that are NOT Snow Emergency Routes
- where temporary “No Parking” signs are posted
- in severe winters, temporary signs may restrict parking on other Snow Emergency Routes as needed
In the event of a Snow Emergency, the Winter Parking Restrictions are temporary lifted and parking returns to Snow Emergency Rules for Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 routes. Remember streets that have a green or brown sign are non-Snow Emergency routes. Streets with a blue street signs are Snow Emergency routes and can be parked on both sides (if the street normally allows parking on both sides).
