Eagan, MN Parking Rules: Snow Removal Parking Rules (2026)

Section 9.09 defines Eagan's winter season for parking purposes as November 15 through April 15 of the following year (Subdivision 1). During that stretch, Subdivision 2 requires on-street parking to alternate by address: on odd-numbered calendar days, only the side of the street with odd-numbered addresses may be used, and on even-numbered days only the even-numbered side, each for a 12-hour period running from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The public works director has separate authority to post 'No Parking Both Sides Until Plowed Entire Width' signs on the Diffley Road frontage roads between Rahn Road and Nicols Road after a snowfall of two inches or more, and the city council can adopt further parking restrictions by resolution for streets where addresses run even, or odd, on both sides.

This alternating rule is distinct from Eagan's general winter snow-emergency plowing operations; it applies on a set calendar schedule regardless of whether snow has actually fallen, so a car left on the wrong side of the street on a clear day is still in violation. Subdivision 3 lets the city move a vehicle parked, abandoned or left standing in violation of the winter rule under the impounding and removal procedure in Section 9.12, meaning towing at the owner's expense is a real, immediate consequence, not just a ticket.
