The parkway will be closed between Hayes Street NE and Johnson Street NE for about one month during the first phase of 2025 work. Temporary ramps at Ulysses Street NE will be in place to maintain pedestrian traffic. People on bikes will be required to dismount and walk.
A second phase of work, between Johnson Street NE and Central Avenue NE, will begin later in 2025. City of Minneapolis Public Works is hosting a community meeting for the project on Tuesday, April 29, 4-6 pm at Windom Northeast Recreation Center, 1801 23rd Ave. NE.

Public Works crews have started the City’s comprehensive street sweeping program to clear away what accumulated in the streets over the winter. Drivers should watch for hot pink temporary “No Parking” signs to avoid a ticket and tow.
For approximately four weeks, sweeping crews will take care of more than 1,000 miles of city streets. To make sure the crews can do the most complete job possible, temporary “No Parking” signs will be posted at least 24 hours in advance to make sure streets are clear of parked vehicles. Drivers need to follow street sweeping parking rules or they may have their cars ticketed and towed to the Minneapolis Impound Lot.

Minneapolis was the first city in the state 10 years ago to create a Green to Go ordinance, which requires recyclable, reusable or compostable to-go food containers in restaurants. But we can all make a difference when we bin those containers.
As part of the City’s ordinance, food businesses must offer collection bins for customers to recycle, compost and dispose of their waste. Customers can help by placing our containers in the correct bin.
- Recycle: Glass bottles, tin, aluminum and plastics (plastics 1, 2, and 5)
- Organics: food scraps and containers marked with the BPI logo on certified products
- Trash: all other items
