The City of Minneapolis has a new, streamlined process for selecting individuals to serve on volunteer boards and commissions. Appointments to City boards and commissions will now be made two times per year through formal City Council and Mayoral processes. Previously, appointments were made on an as-needed basis and are now targeted to happen in May and November.

In 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.
