I got this in my email this morning
WINTER PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Winter Parking Restrictions will improve emergency vehicle accessIn order to provide reliable access for emergency vehicles, the City is implementing Winter Parking Restrictions. The restrictions are needed because of the high levels of snow accumulation this winter, resulting in the narrowing of streets. Winter Parking Restrictions will take effect at 8 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 11. This means parking will be banned on the even side of non-Snow-Emergency-routes until April 1, unless conditions allow the City to lift the ban earlier.
People parking in Minneapolis must follow these parking restrictions or they could be ticketed and towed (very costly) :
Thursday, Feb. 11 – Winter Parking Restrictions begin
Beginning at 8 a.m., parking is prohibited on the EVEN side of non-Snow-Emergency-routes. Parking is allowed on Snow Emergency routes and the ODD side of non-Snow Emergency-routes.
This brings back memories of winters past when they would declare winter parking in September, just to be on the safe side, and we’d all fight all winter over half the parking. Nice that it’s only a month and a half. Nicer that I don’t need a parking space.
In Other News; Amanda found this the other day from a “serious” marking / branding company. I’m not sure what to do with it.
