PWD Miles of Streets Graph
In Minnesota, one of the major objectives of a city is snow removal. Following a snowfall of 2-inches or more, it is our goal to have all city streets plowed within an 8 hour period. To aid the city in achieving its goal, no parking along city streets is permitted within 24 hours of such a snowfall.

To report potholes, storm damaged trees, or for any other street maintenance concerns contact the Public Works Department.
Parks Maintenance
The Parks Division is responsible for the following:
  • Athletic fields maintenance
  • Buildings and grounds maintenance
  • Irrigation system maintenance
  • Mowing and trimming
  • Parks and shelters maintenance
  • Playground apparatus
  • Skating rinks maintenance
