Oakdale prepares residents for Halloween and winter season
At its Monday morning meeting, the Oakdale City Council highlighted seasonal safety measures and community events, including Halloween trick-or-treating at the fire station and new winter parking rules taking effect next month.
The Oakdale Police Department shared Halloween safety tips during the October 28 meeting, urging trick-or-treaters to wear bright clothing, use reflective tape, walk on sidewalks, and carry flashlights or glow sticks to stay visible in the dark. The guidance comes as the city prepares for Halloween night festivities.
The Oakdale Fire Department is hosting a free trick-or-treat event at Fire Station 2, located at 6633 15 Street N, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM on Halloween. Residents are invited to stop by for free hot dogs and candy.
In a separate initiative, the city is offering residents a free pumpkin composting program. A drop-off site at the north end of the City Hall Parking Lot will accept pumpkins from October 28 through November 12. The city asks that pumpkins be free of glitter, paint, wax, and candles before drop-off.
Looking ahead to winter, the council reminded residents that new street parking restrictions will take effect November 1. From November 1 through April 1, vehicles cannot park on city streets between midnight and 5 AM. Additionally, vehicles must be moved anytime snow accumulation exceeds two inches until the street is cleared. Residents should plan accordingly to avoid parking violations during the winter months.
