Snow Emergency Declared In Minneapolis: What To Know

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis officials Friday have declared a snow emergency Friday, Dec. 10. Crews are out plowing and treating over 1,000 miles of city streets to keep them drivable.

Parking restrictions will take effect beginning at 9 p.m. Friday night.

"When a Snow Emergency is declared, parking rules take effect so plows can clear the streets and emergency vehicles and other cars can then get around and park," the city said in a news release.

"Plowing the streets completely requires vehicles parked on streets to move. It’s in everyone’s best interest to do their part and follow the parking rules so plows can do the best job possible, and folks can avoid a ticket and tow."

Here are the official city parking rules from Friday through Sunday:

Friday, Dec. 10, 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 11 (Day 1) Do not park on EITHER side of a Snow Emergency route until 8 a.m., or the street is fully plowed.

Saturday, Dec. 11, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Day 2) Do not park on the EVEN numbered side of a non-Snow Emergency route until 8 p.m., or that side of the street is fully plowed, or on EITHER side of a parkway until 8 p.m., or the parkway is fully plowed.
