Winter Parking Ordinance Effective Oct. 1st-May 1st 2025

Winter Parking Ordinance Effective October 1 – May 1st

In order to facilitate winter snow removal, as well as fall and spring street sweeping, the City of Staples has adopted an ordinance that implements calendar, or odd/even, parking that is based on Street and Avenue house numbers.  Even numbered houses are on the East side of Streets and South side of Avenues.  Odd numbered houses are on the West side of Streets and the North side of Avenues.  Vehicles may only park on the even side of Streets and Avenues on even days of the calendar, and may only park on the odd side of Streets and Avenues on odd days of the calendar.  This Ordinance is in effect from October 1st to May 1st and from 12:00 midnight to 7:00 a.m.  You must remember to park according to the calendar date as of midnight.  Vehicles violating this Ordinance will be ticketed nightly, regardless of weather.  During snow removal periods, vehicles may be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense.  The odd/even parking does not affect the downtown “No Parking 2:00 a.m.—6:00 a.m.” zones.
