Minneapolis Bans Parking On Even Side Of Non-Major Roads

MINNEAPOLIS — Following the three-day snow emergency, parking on the even side of non-snow emergency routes will be banned in Minneapolis until April 1. The city said the new winter parking restrictions begin 8 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27 "to ensure city streets are passable for emergency vehicles, buses and other travelers in the face of heavy snow accumulation this winter."

The ban will be in place until April unless conditions allow the city to lift the ban earlier.

Parking is allowed on snow emergency routes, parkways, and the odd numbered side of non-snow emergency routes unless otherwise posted, according to a news release.
