How do students find parking if theres a snow emergency in the Twin Cities?
The University is part of Minneapolis’s SnOasis program. A SnOasis is a parking lot or ramp that allows folks to get their cars off the street (at a free or reduced rate) during the first night of snow emergency parking restrictions (the first night of snow emergency parking restrictions runs from 9 p.m. until 8 a.m.). Currently, there are five snOasis parking ramps available; three at the University of Minnesota and two near downtown Minneapolis. SnOasis parking rules and addresses are available on the City’s Web site: www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/snow/SnOasis-home.asp. For up-to-the-minute information about where to park in Minneapolis during a snow emergency—and throughout the season—call the city’s Snow Emergency 24-Hour-Hotline (English: 612-348-SNOW; Spanish: 612-673-3819; Somali: 612-673-2141; TTY: 612-673-2116) or check the city’s Web site: www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/snow.
