Oakdale announces winter parking rules, Halloween safety tips
The Oakdale City Council held an informational meeting on October 27 to announce several upcoming changes and community events, including new winter parking restrictions that take effect November 1st and a Halloween safety campaign from the police department.
Starting November 1st through April 1st, Oakdale residents will face new overnight parking restrictions on city streets. Vehicles cannot park on any city street between midnight and 5 a.m., or at any time when snow accumulation reaches or exceeds 2 inches until the street is cleared. The city announced the policy to help with snow removal and street maintenance during winter months.
Ahead of Halloween on October 31st, the Oakdale Police Department issued safety guidance for trick-or-treaters and their families. The department recommends wearing light-colored or bright costumes, adding reflective tape to dark outfits, walking on sidewalks whenever possible, and carrying a flashlight or glow stick to increase visibility. These tips aim to keep children safe while they collect candy.
The city also announced a family-friendly Halloween kick-off event at Fire Station 2 on October 31st from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The free event will feature candy and hot dogs, and residents will have the opportunity to meet members of both the Fire and Police Departments.
