Neighborhood Life Survey

Make you opinion count! What is our neighborhood like? How does it affect your well-being? Weigh in on neighborhood infrastructure, leisure activities, and household amenities at https://umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8ivHeXl3IzKqFsp

This survey is being conducted by the City of Minneapolis in partnership with the University of Minnesota’s Sustainable Healthy Cities Network to identify how infrastructures and amenities in our homes and neighborhoods shape our quality of life and well-being and how we think and feel about our life. Results of this survey will be posted online and shared with your local government to build  better cities through better neighborhoods.

Snow Emergency Alerts

Winter is coming! We’ve already had our first snowfall and that means snow emergency season is here.  Sign up for alerts from the City of Minneapolis and avoid an expensive tow (and making a friend drive you to the impound lot).
