Eden Prairie Snow Events: What You Need To Know

Press release from the City of Eden Prairie:

October 19, 2020

The City of Eden Prairie informs residents of snow removal plans with Snow Event declarations in advance of winter weather.

How It Works

When the forecast indicates a snow accumulation of two inches or more, the City will declare a Snow Event.

When It Begins

As soon as snow accumulation reaches two inches, a Snow Emergency is in effect – if Eden Prairie does not receive two inches of snow, the Snow Event is canceled.

What to Do

During a Snow Emergency, do not park on City streets until noon the next day.

What Happens

Streets maintenance crews work to maintain safe and passable roadways throughout a Snow Event, and perform a full curb-to-curb cleanup from 3 a.m. – noon, weather permitting.

You can find Snow Event declarations posted at edenprairie.org/News and social media platforms. You can also subscribe to receive email and text notifications.

Important Snow Removal Reminders

• Place trash containers behind the curb line, not in the street.
• Remove basketball hoops and any other objects from the street.
• Help by shoveling around fire hydrants and mailboxes, and clearing nearby sidewalks.
• It is illegal to place snow from your property onto the public roadway.
