New Winter Parking Restrictions go into effect on Thursday, February 11th
Following the end of Minneapolis’ current Snow Emergency, Winter Parking
Restrictions will take effect
beginning at 8 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 11.  This means parking will be banned on
the even side of non-Snow-
Emergency-routes until April 1, unless conditions allow the City to lift the
ban earlier. 
    
Thursday, Feb. 11 – Winter Parking Restrictions beginning at 8 a.m., parking
is prohibited on the EVEN side 
of non-Snow-Emergency-routes.  Parking is allowed on Snow Emergency routes
and the ODD side of non-
Snow Emergency-routes. 
 
Minneapolis has had about 30 inches of snow so far this winter, with very
little melting in between snowfalls. 
This means snow, even when it’s plowed, has begun to encroach on residential
streets. That leads to the 
narrowing of streets that can pose a safety hazard when emergency vehicles,
such as fire trucks and 
ambulances, cannot navigate these streets to reach people who need
assistance.  For more information go to 
the City of Minneapolis’ Snow Page <http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/snow/> .
