Attention Minneapolis residents, the season for clearing the streets of fallen leaves is upon us. Starting October 22, street sweepers will be working their way through the city, signaling the preparatory activities for the winter months. As announced in a recent Facebook post by the City of Minneapolis Government, residents should keep an eye out for those orange temporary "No Parking" signs that will populate neighborhoods, alerting them to when their street is due for sweeping.
The cleaning effort, spanning across October and November, targets the accumulation of leaves on the roadways, which if left untreated, can lead to clogged storm drains and slippery conditions. In preparation for this annual cleanup, the city has started posting the no-parking signs, and giving people a 24-hour notice to move their vehicles, as reported by the City of Minneapolis.
For those who require further information or assistance regarding the fall street sweeping visit the city's street sweeping webpage. Additional support and answers to frequently asked questions can also be found on the aforementioned street sweeping page.
