Snow Removal

Minturn

Parking Plan & Snow Removal Guidelines

Our winter snow plan starts officially on November 1 each year.  The information below will help you prepare for parking and for snow removal in Minturn this winter.

PLEASE NOTE, ALL COMMERCIAL SNOWPLOW CONTRACTORS OPERATING IN MINTURN MUST BE PROPERLY LICENSED / REGISTERED WITH THE TOWN.  MORE INFORMATION ON SNOWPLOW CONTRACTOR LICENSING REQUIREMENTS CAN BE FOUND HERE.  

Parking Plan

Our parking plan is designed to address parking concerns and to assist in the timeliness of the snow removal process.  After review and discussion, Town Council, as Dwell as, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), approved the plan.

The purpose of the time-restricted parking plan is two-fold:

  1. Enable better customer parking for guests of local businesses.
  2. Assist with timely and efficient snow removal and street maintenance.

The parking plan is in effect from November 1st to April 1st, whether it is snowing or not snowing, and includes all holidays.  Refer to street signage for either a Monday/Wednesday or a Tuesday/Thursday schedule.  Parking restrictions are not in effect on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays from November 1st to April 1st.  

Parking is never permitted on Mann or Meek.  

The parking plan also addresses year round, time-limited parking.  Parking will be limited to two hours on the 100 Block of Main Street.
