JASPER SNOW POLICY:
After a SNOW EMERGENCY (snow 2” or more) has been declared, it is illegal to park on any street until the street has been completely cleared curb to curb for a length of a city block. The Public Works Superintendent shall decide when to begin snow or ice control operations.
The criteria for that decision are:
A. Snow accumulation of 2 inches or more
B. Drifting of snow that causes problems for travel
C. Icy conditions which seriously affect travel
D. Time of snow fall in relationship to heavy use of streets
Snowplowing operations will not generally be conducted for snowfall of less than 2 inches… from City of Jasper Snow/ice Maintenance Policy.
Our City crew tries to get out VERY EARLY in the morning in order to have the streets cleared for everyone’s convenience, but we
need everyone’s cooperation.
It is very important to listen to the weatherman. When he is talking about bad weather, please use off‐street parking. You may park in your driveway, on the boulevard, a convenient place on your property, or-with permission-on a neighbor’s property. Once the snow is cleared, you may again park on the street.
To avoid a violation/ticket (defined in Ordinance No. 83) we suggest that you find off‐street parking for your vehicle. Vehicles in
violation will be ticketed and subject to towing. The only exception to the ordinance would be for those items that will be impossible to have all the snow removed on Wall St. before businesses are open. When this is the case, the Public Works Department asks that customers, park parallel to the curb rather that diagonal to the curb until all the snow is plowed and removed.
We appreciate your cooperation with assisting the City with snow removal to make a safer and better operation.

Snow Removal around Residential Mailboxes
USPS Postal Carriers will not deliver mail if access to the curbside residential mailboxes has been impeded by the snow accumulations. The snow plow operators make every effort to remove snow as close to the curb line as practical and to provide access to mailboxes for the mail delivery. However, this is not possible to provide perfect conditions and minimize damage to mailboxes with the size and type of equipment the City operates. Therefore, the final cleaning adjacent to mailboxes is the responsibility of each resident.
City Curfew
Did you know the City of Jasper has a curfew? Section 9.13, Subd. 2. of the City Ordinance prohibits any minor to be on or loitering on the streets or public places between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. of the following day, unless accompanied by a person of lawful age who is responsible for the minor.
Please make sure your children are home by 10:00 p.m. and not in violation of the City Ordinance.
