With temperatures nearing 70 degrees this week, St. Paul police are reminding residents of an ordinance that went into effect in January.

Campers, boat trailers and utility trailers cannot be parked on a street or alley unless they are connected to a vehicle that can pull or carry them.

It’s important to let people know about the new ordinance now that the weather is warming up, police department spokesman Steve Linders said.

“It’s getting to be that time of year when weather gets warmer and people start pulling boats and trailers out of garage,” he said. “We want them to know about the new ordinance and take steps to avoid getting a ticket.”
