ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) – The Saint Paul Public Works is asking for residents to voluntarily move their cars this weekend to help snow plows continue to clear residential streets.

The city wants residents to move cars from east-west residential streets starting Saturday at 5 p.m. until Sunday morning at 8 a.m.

Starting 8 a.m. Sunday morning, residents should move cars off of north-south streets until 6 p.m. to aid plowing.

The city stresses that this is not a declaration of a snow emergency, and is purely voluntary.
