Did you know? It’s illegal to leave your vehicle unattended with the keys in the ignition while on a public street/alley. You could be ticketed under City Ordinance 478.160, even if your vehicle is stolen in these circumstances. (Note: remote starters do not violate the ordinance.) If your stolen vehicle is recovered, it is sent to the impound lot and if it is not retrieved in 15 days, it can be sold at police auction. In order to get the vehicle, you have to pay the fees.
Fall is officially here! Now is a great time to prepare for a healthy spring yard. Cooling temperatures make fall the perfect season for planting new grass, pulling weeds and aerating the soil. Explore these resources to ensure a healthy comeback for your lawn next spring.
The dead leaves that blanket your yard are full of nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen. Consider these three methods for maintaining your fall yard and keeping these excess nutrients away from stormdrains:

Minneapolis Public Works will begin the big task of curb-to-curb sweeping and leaf collection on streets throughout the city on Tuesday, Oct. 22. During the four weeks of the comprehensive fall street sweep, crews will clean about 1,000 miles of city streets. To make sure crews can do the best job possible, temporary “No Parking” signs will be posted at least 24 hours in advance so streets will be clear of cars when they’re swept. The first signs will be posted Monday, Oct. 21, and sweeping will begin the next day. Anyone who parks on the street will need to follow posted parking rules or their cars may be ticketed and towed.
Here are just some of the ways to stay informed of the parking rules:

Join thousands of your friends, neighbors and fellow community members for the 13th Annual Eastside Barbeque on Thursday, August 29, 3:30- 7:30 p.m. at Edison High School, 700 – 22nd Avenue NE. This event grows each year as it brings together community, businesses, and schools to show support for our local students and their families. It occurs the same evening as the open houses of all the Eastside public schools, including Edison High School, Northeast Middle School, Marcy Open School, Webster Elementary, Waite Park Elementary, Pillsbury Elementary, and Sheridan Arts & Spanish Dual Immersion School. Visit the school websites for details on open house hours: https://mpls.k12.mn.us/.
The Barbeque will be serving up brats, hamburgers, veggie burgers and hotdogs with all the fixings. There will also be music, games, and a variety of other activities for the whole family. This is a unique opportunity to meet your neighbors, support this community’s students and school staff, enjoying a meal with friends, and exploring the Edison High School Green Campus.
The Eastside Barbeque is only possible through the hard work of dozens upon dozens of volunteers and the generous support of its sponsors.
Census workers have begun canvassing neighborhoods to count the number of dwellings before census questionnaires are mailed out. Learn how the Census Bureau does this and how to verify a census worker’s credentials here.
In 2020, the US census will determine how many congressional representatives Minnesota will have for the next decade, and will impact funding for schools and local communities. Getting an accurate and complete count of all residents is vital.
If you would like more information on how neighborhoods can help ensure a Minneapolis Complete Count, please contact your neighborhood support specialist or Alberder Gillespie, census 2020 coordinator, at alberder.gillespie@minneapolismn.gov.

The MWMO and its partners are moving forward with field work to aid in the design and decision-making process at the Columbia Golf Course and Columbia Park. Last week, an engineering team dug test pits (pictured) to collect soil samples at the golf course and the adjacent rugby field. The samples will be analyzed to learn about the characteristics of the soil and other material present on the site. Earlier this summer, surveyors collected elevation data to help inform the next phase of planning and design for stormwater improvements at the course.
These environmental and geotechnical investigations will help the project partners finalize the design and location of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) on the northern half of the golf course. These stormwater BMPs will improve drainage at the course and help reduce the flow of polluted runoff to the Mississippi River. Project partners are coordinating with golf course staff to minimize impacts to the golf course’s operations as well as physical impacts to the course itself.
In June, MWMO Board Chair and Minneapolis City Council Member Kevin Reich held a community forum on the Northeast Stormwater Management Initiative. Reich invited attendees to learn and ask questions about planned stormwater improvements in and around the Columbia Golf Course in Northeast Minneapolis. Staff from the MWMO, City of Minneapolis, and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board discussed design concepts and anticipated benefits. Slides and graphics from the meeting are available on the MWMO website.
