Eden Prairie is the one metro city that acts on the forecast rather than the snow gauge. A predicted two inches declares a Snow Event, and the parking rule starts before the snow does.
A 2-inch forecast declares a Snow Event. Once declared, there is no parking on city streets until noon the following day, and curb-to-curb cleanup runs from 3 a.m. to noon.
The practical difference from a depth-triggered city is real: in Eden Prairie you can be under a parking restriction before anything has fallen, and the restriction is tied to a clock rather than to the plow reaching your block. Residents are expected to clear the walks in front of their homes; the city maintains the recreational trail network.
Placing snow on a public roadway is illegal here, as it is statewide. Minn. Stat. § 169.42.
Eden Prairie is part of the 1970s and 1980s ring of the west metro, alongside Plymouth and Minnetonka. That era generally produced attached garages and front driveways rather than the alley-and-rear-garage pattern of the pre-1950 core cities, which changes what a snow contract is actually clearing.
This site does not publish typical driveway dimensions by build decade, here or anywhere. No authoritative source for it exists, and a quote based on an assumed driveway length is not a quote. An operator should be looking at the property.
Address, driveway, sidewalk frontage and whether it is a corner. Four facts and the quote stops being a range. What moves the number in Eden Prairie.
