Get Ready for the Spring 2018 Street Sweeping

By

Multiple notifications make it easy to do your part to help the environment, and avoid a ticket and tow

Public Works crews are gearing up to start the City’s comprehensive street sweeping program to clear away the grime from winter. To let the ice and snow melt so sweepers have full access along the curbs, the City has scheduled Tuesday, May 1, for the first day of sweeping. Drivers should watch for temporary “No Parking” signs to avoid a ticket and tow.

Starting May 1 for approximately four weeks, sweeping crews will take care of more than 1,000 miles of city streets in addition to sweeping alleys. To make sure the crews can do the most complete job possible, temporary “No Parking” signs will be posted at least 24 hours in advance to make sure streets are clear of parked vehicles. Drivers need to follow street sweeping parking rules or they may have their cars ticketed and towed to the Minneapolis Impound Lot.
