Drivers park with caution. Today marks the beginning of fall street sweeping.
Minneapolis’ street maintenance division will begin clearing leaves and debris from city streets today and will continue to work through mid-November to cover the entire city.

“No Parking” signs will be posted on the morning of the day before the sweeping begins. The signs will specify the day of the week the sweeping will occur.
