Winter Snow Removal

Winter is upon us! Please review these snow removal responsibilities that Wayzata residents and property owners have.

1. Snow from privately owned property may only be placed adjacent to your own property, when clearing your driveway. It cannot be pushed across the street and it may not be deposited elsewhere.
2. Section 305 of the Wayzata City Code details additional requirements for the cleaning of sidewalks.

Parking Ordinance and Regulations during Snow Emergencies 

If the snowfall is 2 or more inches before 8 p.m., the snow parking regulations go into effect at 2:00 a.m. the next morning. At that time, snow plowing will begin and any vehicles parked on unplowed streets will be tagged and/or towed.
 
If an accumulation of 2 inches or more occurs after 8 p.m., the snow parking ban will go into effect the following morning at 2 a.m. (24 hours later).
 
If there is an accumulation of snow after 8 p.m., plowing may occur. Cars parked on the street will not be tagged, but cars may be plowed in. The parking ban shall remain in effect until the snow has been removed or plowed to the curb line.

Public Works Update

Wayzata Skating Rinks Will be Prepped Next Week
The Parks Department is planning to take advantage of the temperature drop, late next week, to begin preparing the City’s ice rinks for use over the winter months!  
Please stay off the ice until they are open for the season. The more time staff has to properly prepare the rinks for public use, the better the quality of the ice will be.

The team is meeting multiple times per month to progress the goals and design of the project. Recent and upcoming meetings are discussing the intended “look and feel” of the site given its history and relation to the Panoway, Eco Park, and Boardwalk.
