Sunday, March 24, 2024 | 6:45 PM

[DULUTH, MN] Due to snow conditions, some City of Duluth facilities will be closed to the public tomorrow, March 25, 2024.  Duluth Workforce Development Center will be closed tomorrow, with staff working remotely during the storm Monday. All Duluth Public Library facilities will be closed tomorrow. Duluth City Hall, however, will be open to the public, but with some staff working remotely. Additionally, all Duluth Parks and Recreation programs tomorrow are cancelled. Monday’s City Council meeting is expected to continue as scheduled tomorrow.

City of Duluth snow operations day shift crews are completing their shift and will be off until 2:00 AM for a well-deserved rest. We’ll still have a small number of crews on duty to continue clearing Priority 1 streets into the late-night hours and to keep main roads open for emergency vehicles. Snow operations staff will be back at full at 2:00 AM to continue clearing snow on Priority 1/mains and Priority 2/residentials. Our thanks to our street maintenance staff for their hard work through this and all snow events. If you do not have to be on the roads, please refrain from traveling.

Residents can do their part in helping with street maintenance operations by remembering to get out and move their cars today between 4pm and 8pm from to the odd side to the even side of the road. For information about alternate side parking, please visit https://duluthmn.gov/media/c3qfqwg4/parking-calendar.pdf. Illegally parked cars can hamper snow plowing efforts considerably, as our equipment often has difficulty passing illegally parked vehicles on residential streets, so moving your vehicle in the changeover window is critical.

The City would also like to remind residents and businesses to lend a helping hand to their neighbors in need as they remove snow from their sidewalks. Safe sidewalk access is crucial to pedestrians, folks pushing strollers, and people using wheelchairs and mobility devices as they move about to errands, appointments, and the like. Removal of sidewalk snow within 24 hours of a snow event’s end helps our residents maintain safe mobility.

As always, the City thanks residents for their patience and understanding as crews work to maintain roads during and after snow events. Please stay safe while traveling.
