[0:00] Well, greetings everybody. This is Jim [0:01] Hufflin, your Dina Mayor, and this is [0:03] the mayor's minute for Thursday, [0:05] November 13, 2025. Well, we all know [0:08] we're getting close to snow season, even [0:10] in uh climate warming conditions. And [0:13] so, the winter parking rules are now in [0:14] effect in Edina, and they help keep our [0:16] streets clear and safe all season long. [0:20] Snow removal is one of the services [0:21] residents appreciate the most. And [0:23] limiting street parking in the cold [0:25] weather months allows the public works [0:27] department to pre-treat, deise, and [0:29] clear snow from streets more quickly, [0:31] efficiently, and safely. So, from now [0:33] through March 31st, remember, no parking [0:36] on city streets overnight between 1 and [0:39] 6:00 a.m., no matter the forecast. And [0:42] when it snows 1 and a half inches or [0:44] more, please keep cars off the street [0:46] until it has been plowed to the curb. If [0:48] a vehicle blocks a snowplow route, [0:51] police will try to contact the owner, [0:52] but if they can't, it may need to be [0:54] towed. Parked cars can also create [0:57] dangerous conditions for drivers and [0:58] snowplow operators. So, thank you for [1:00] helping keep roads safe for everyone [1:02] during this winter season. Also, you got [1:06] to remember to keep your garbage and [1:07] your recycling carts off of the street [1:10] on collection day. Get them up on the [1:11] curb. If snow's piled up, place carts on [1:14] your driveway apron or in a cleared spot [1:16] in your yard so the haulers can reach [1:18] them with their equipment. We haven't [1:20] had snow yet this season, but let's be [1:22] ready when it comes. Knowing the rules [1:24] helps everyone get everywhere they want [1:26] to go safely and keeps looking great [1:29] after every single storm. I'm Jim Hland [1:32] and that's your mayor's minute for [1:33] Thursday, November 13, 2025. Have a [1:36] great rest of the week and let's hope [1:37] this good weather continues, but we know [1:39] the winter is coming. We'll see you [1:40] soon.
