The City of Minneapolis recently adopted a number of changes that will affect street parking on campus, starting as soon as today. IMPORTANT: PLEASE DOUBLE-CHECK STREET PARKING SIGNAGE AROUND CAMPUS TO ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING THE UPDATED REGULATIONS.
Changes are illustrated in the map linked below and include:
– New metered parking on the east side of 22nd Ave between Riverside Ave and Butler Pl, around the perimeter of Murphy Square, along both sides of Butler Pl, and on both sides of 23rd Ave between Butler Pl and Riverside Ave. The cost to park in these spaces will be $0.50/hr, with a four-hour limit between 8 a.m.–6 p.m. daily. Free after 6 p.m.
– Permit parking only (Minneapolis critical parking area permit required) between 8 a.m.–6 p.m. on the west side of 22nd Ave between Riverside and Butler Pl. The City’s plan also includes implementing these same restrictions on both sides of 21st Ave north of 7th St, and on the south side of 6th St between 20th Ave and 21st Ave. No permit required after 6 p.m on those streets. Parking also will be restricted on the north side of 6th St between 20th Ave and 21st Ave, but allows for 4-hour parking with no permit between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. AGAIN, PLEASE READ STREET PARKING SIGNAGE TO ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING THE NEW REGULATIONS.
– While you may notice new parking meter infrastructure on the north side of 7 ½ St, these meters are not currently active. For the time being, this area can still be used as an unloading zone in accordance with city parking regulations.
Augsburg will continue to work with the city to understand the impact of these changes and advocate for an appropriate mix of parking options for our campus. As a result, there may be additional changes later in the year. Any public feedback on the parking changes may be directed to Minneapolis by calling 311 or emailing Minneapolis311@minneapolismn.gov.
