What winter looks like in Roseville, and how we run it.
Roseville is about 25 minutes north of our yard by I-35E and Highway 36, and it is one of the densest retail and office markets in the north metro, with a lot of pedestrian traffic to match.
Rosedale Center anchors the retail side, with the HarMar area along Highway 36 and the Rice Street and Larpenteur Avenue district. The Twin Lakes redevelopment near I-35W and County Road C, built on former trucking terminals, now holds corporate headquarters and newer office and flex space. MnDOT's Metro District headquarters, the University of Northwestern, Presbyterian Homes, and a cluster of freeway hotels round out a mix that runs seven days a week.
About 25 minutes from our Eagan yard and salt storage. Roseville runs on our north route, with retail and hotel properties at the front of the order.

What the City of Roseville requires of commercial properties.
From the city's own code and public works pages. Rules change, so each one links to its source.
Public pathways
The city plows about 62 miles of public pathways itself and expects adjacent commercial owners to clear roughly 24 miles more; the city's 2026–27 pathway map shows which is which, and Code Enforcement handles the owner segments. Private walks, entries, and lots are always the property's.
SourceSnow on the street
The city prohibits pushing or throwing snow onto streets or sidewalks, citing state law (Minn. Stat. §160.2715), which makes it a misdemeanor with civil liability.
SourceParking
No on-street parking after 2 inches or more until streets are plowed curb to curb, for up to 48 hours (City Code 602.07). Roseville has no seasonal overnight ban and no declared snow-emergency system; the 2-inch rule is automatic.

Three things we plan for here.
Regional retail and hotels
Storefront walks, entries, and guest lots cleared before opening and kept on cycle service through seven-day-a-week traffic.
Twin Lakes and Highway 36 offices
Headquarters and flex buildings cleared before arrival, with a drawn stacking plan for compact lots.
Pathway frontage
Owner-responsibility pathway segments cleared on the first pass and documented, so the city's enforcement never reaches you.
What happens at each trigger depth.
Tuned to each Roseville property during the site walk and written into your agreement. “As conditions warrant” is not a scope.
| Trigger | What we do | Target window | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trace – 0.9" | Walk and entry inspection; deice as conditions require | Before tenant arrival | Inspection note + photos |
| 1.0" – 2.9" | Full lot plow, walks cleared, entries and ADA routes deiced | Complete before opening hour | Event report + photos + salt weight |
| 3.0" – 5.9" | Continuous service during event; walks cleared on cycle; open-lot passes | Cycle service, final pass before opening | Event report + per-pass timestamps |
| 6.0"+ | Dedicated crew assigned for duration; staged equipment; stacking plan executed | Continuous until event ends | Full event narrative + photo set |
| Freezing rain / ice | Pre-treat where forecast supports it; repeat deicing passes on cycle | Pre-treat before onset, then by cycle | Application log with product + weight |
| Refreeze / melt-cycle | Daytime inspection pass; spot deice at drains, downspouts, and shaded walks | Same-day inspection | Inspection note + photos |
Representative matrix. Trigger depths and windows are set per property during the site walk — a hospital entrance and a warehouse back lot do not get the same numbers.
Lots, drive and fire lanes, walks, entries, ADA routes, docks, stairs, stacking, hauling, and refreeze inspection, with salt logged by weight. Full snow & ice program.
Scoped by property type, not by square foot alone.
