Get Ready For Street Sweeping In Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Public Works crews are gearing up to start the city’s comprehensive street sweeping program to clear away what had accumulated in the streets over the winter. The city has scheduled Tuesday, April 16 for the first day of sweeping.

Beginning Monday, April 15, drivers should watch for temporary “No Parking” signs to avoid a ticket and tow.

Starting April 16 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, according to a news release.
