The city of St. Paul is implementing one-sided street parking on Monday in response to record-breaking February snowfall that has choked roads in many neighborhoods.

similar declaration made last week in Minneapolis

Under the rules taking effect at noon Monday in St. Paul, parking will not be allowed on even-numbered sides of residential streets until April 1 — or sooner, if weather and road conditions allow.

"The record-breaking snow we've experienced over the past month has significantly narrowed many of our residential streets, limiting passability for neighbors and first responders alike," Mayor Melvin Carter announced in a news release. "Parking on only one side of the street is a simple step we can all take to ensure our fire trucks and ambulances can access our entire city in an emergency."

Residents and visitors must park only on the odd-numbered side of residential streets while the rule is in effect. Posted parking rules remain in effect for main streets.
