PARKING RESTRCTION: No Parking on Even Sides

WINTER PARKING RESTRICTIONS IN EFFECT FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS BEGINNING FRIDAY DEC 17th at 8 AM

High snow accumulations can narrow streets, making them harder for fire trucks, ambulances and other emergency vehicles to navigate. When that happens, Winter Parking restrictions are enacted. These restrictions prohibit parking on the even numbered side of streets designated as non-Snow Emergency Routes until April 1, or until conditions warrant a lifting of the ban.

Please visit: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/snow/ for more information and for the "street look-up" maps to assist you with identifying odd/even sides of street in your area.

People parking in Minneapolis must follow these parking restrictions, or they could be ticketed and towed:
Friday, Dec. 17th- 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, parkways and the ODD side of non-Snow Emergency-routes.

The Augsburg Public Safety website will have a map of our campus with highlighted “no parking” areas. Please visit www.augsburg.edu/dps to view the map. It should be updated shortly. There are also signs posted at some of the main entrances of the college. If you are inviting visitors to campus, please make sure they are aware of the restriction. Visitor permits can be requested from Public Safety. http://www.augsburg.edu/dps/visitor_parking.html

Augsburg College Parking permits are available for purchase through Parking Services on Augnet. For questions on purchasing a permit, please contact parking@augsburg.edu

Car Seats Needed!
Do you have a car seat left from an infant or a child who is now grown? The East African Women's Center (just a few blocks down the street) is in need of car seats and infant carriers for a new program serving newly arrived refugee women and children. Women who live in South Minneapolis will come to the center (picked up in a van) with their children together: mothers in English and Orientation Class, children in Early Childhood classes. If you have a car seat to donate, or questions about the program, please contact Joanna Flaten (Augsburg alum): (509) 430-9120, jflaten001@luthersem.edu. Thank-you!
