What's Open, What's Closed On New Year's Day
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Wednesday kicks off 2020, and as always, a number of places will ring in the new year by staying closed for the day. Here's a reminder of what's open and what's closed.
Government Offices
All government offices are closed Wednesday, and will resume regular business hours on Tuesday, Jan. 2.
Parking Meters
Most parking meters in the Twin Cities will not be enforced. The City of Minneapolis says that all other parking restrictions in the city are to remain in effect, "including Park Board meters along Minneapolis parkways, University of Minnesota parking meters and those of private organizations that operate their own meters."
