City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209�' St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Consider asking Washington County to install "No Parking November
1 through April 1 from 2 AM to 7 AM" on Olinda Trail N. (CSAH 3)
from Scandia Trail (US Highway 97) south to 209`h St. N., on both
sides of the street.
Deadline/ Timeline: N/A
Background: • Parking has become an issue in the Village Center district with
vehicles being left overnight and not being moved before the plow
trucks come by. Vehicles can not enter the parking spots along
Olinda Trail due to the piles of snow left behind from the plows
going around the parked vehicles. Parking spots are needed along
Olinda Trail during business hours for the downtown businesses
and Elim Church. The County cannot make separate trips back to
plow after the vehicles have been moved so these spots are lost
until the plows return.
• The City of Scandia's Ordinance #43 does not allow parking on
City streets between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. for more than 60
minutes. This applies to any street, road or byway of the City but
does not apply to County or State owned roads.
• Washington County Public Works Department will pay for and
install "no parking" signs if the City Council makes a request
through adoption of a resolution.
• County staff recommends that the parking ban be from 2:00 a.m.
to 7:00 a.m. to ensure that they will be completely finished
plowing Olinda Trail before vehicles may park there.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council request placement of the
signs.
