Free Parking in Downtown & Uptown Minneapolis Today

One of the benefits of city services closed for Labor Day is that parking meters will not be enforced today. All other parking restrictions are still in effect, including Park Board meters, and those at the University of Minnesota. There is also no garbage or recycling pickup today. Pickups normally scheduled for September 3 - 7 will occur one day later.
