Minneapolis Snow Emergency: Parking Rules In Effect Through Tuesday

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis is in the middle of a declared Snow Emergency after the city activated its plowing plan at 9 p.m. Sunday. Parking rules continue through Tuesday as crews work to clear streets across the city.

Day 1 began at 9 p.m. Sunday, when parking was banned on either side of all Snow Emergency routes until 8 a.m. Monday or until those streets were fully plowed.

Day 2, which runs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, restricts parking on the even-numbered side of non-Snow Emergency routes. Parking is also banned on either side of parkways until 8 p.m. or until plowing is complete.

Day 3, scheduled for Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., will prohibit parking on the odd-numbered side of non-Snow Emergency routes until 8 p.m. or until crews finish plowing that side.

City officials say plow crews can only clear the full width of a street when vehicles are moved off the side being plowed. Cars left in the way risk being tagged and towed to the Minneapolis Impound Lot.

Residents are also reminded to shovel sidewalks and clear snow around garbage carts.

More information is available on the city’s Snow Emergency information website, or by calling the Snow Emergency Hotline at 612-348-SNOW.
