[0:00] Happy new year Woodbury! [0:01] I'm Ashley and this is the scoop. [0:05] Metro transit is piloting a new on demand [0:08] shared ride service in a few areas around the metro, [0:11] including 13 square miles in Woo parts of Oakdale and Lake Elmo. [0:17] Metro Micro Works, like other rideshare services, [0:20] has its own app and uses Ada accessible mini busses [0:24] that allow customers to be picked up [0:26] and dropped off anywhere [0:28] within the service area during their trip. [0:30] Because it is a shared ride, [0:32] the bus may pick up or drop off other passengers along the way. [0:36] The City of Woodbury is seeking input on how to prioritize [0:39] federal funding, and is in the process [0:41] of developing a new five year consolidated plan to guide [0:44] how to use funds. [0:45] Eligible funding activities must meet at least one of three [0:49] national objectives, [0:50] which include benefiting low to moderate income residents, [0:54] addressing blight or meeting urgent community needs. [0:58] Survey responses will be accepted through January 31st. [1:01] Registration for recreation [1:03] pickleball clubs will open in February. [1:06] Check out the Woodbury Recreation website to sign up. [1:09] And finally, here's a few winter reminders. [1:12] No on street parking from 2 a.m. [1:14] until 6 a.m. [1:16] or after a two inch snowfall. [1:18] Make sure trash cans are placed on your driveway, [1:21] not on the street. [1:22] Clear snow around mailboxes. [1:24] Property owners adjacent to a public sidewalk [1:27] need to maintain the public sidewalk by clearing [1:29] snow and ice within 12 hours after it stops falling. [1:33] Adopt a fire hydrant and keep it clear. [1:36] Give at least five car lengths between your vehicle and a plow. [1:40] Don't allow children to build snow forts near the curb [1:42] or cul de sacs, and keep sleds and toys away from the street. [1:46] If you would like to stay up to date on city news, [1:48] be sure to sign up for in touch emails, reach [1:51] city newsletters and connect with us on social media.
