City of Big Lake issued the following announcement on Dec. 26.
Please note that parking is not allowed on any City street or roadway between November 1 and April 1 of each year, during the hours of 12:01 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.
After a snowfall of two inches or more, all streets in the City will be cleared of all motor vehicles for snowplowing and/or snow removal.
If your vehicle should have mechanical failure and cannot be removed from the street during the required dates/times, please contact the Big Lake Police Department at 763-251-2996 and advise the officer on duty. This may help in avoiding a citation and/or your vehicle being impounded.
Also note that the City will be sending out its authorized contractor after each snowfall during the winter of 2020-2021 to ensure that all sidewalks are being cleared in accordance with the City's sidewalk ordinance. The contractor will clear all sidewalks that are not in compliance with the ordinance, and the property owners will be billed for the service per the adopted City Fee Schedule. The City will always wait at least 24 hours after a snowfall of two inches or more before sending out its authorized contractor.
The day before the contractor is sent out to “sweep” the City and clear the non-compliant sidewalks, the City will make a public announcement via Facebook and at Biglakemn.org. In addition to this, you can sign up to receive a text message or email alert the day before a scheduled sweep.
