Woodbury seeks input on federal funding priorities
The Woodbury City Council held its January meeting to update residents on new transit options, solicit feedback on how to spend federal dollars, and remind residents of winter parking and snow removal rules.
The city is developing a five-year plan to guide how it spends federal funding and wants community input before January 31st. The funds must be used to benefit low-to-moderate income residents, address neighborhood blight, or meet urgent community needs. Residents can share their priorities through a survey on the city's website.
In transit news, Metro Transit is launching Metro Micro, an on-demand shared ride service coming to parts of Woodbury, Oakdale, and Lake Elmo. The service uses a smartphone app to request rides in accessible mini-buses that pick up and drop off passengers at flexible locations within designated service areas—similar to ride-sharing services but designed for public transit.
The council also reminded residents of winter ordinances as snow season continues. Overnight street parking is prohibited between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., or anytime after two inches of snow falls. Property owners must clear public sidewalks of snow and ice within 12 hours after snowfall stops. Trash cans should be placed on driveways, not streets, and residents should clear snow around mailboxes. The city also cautioned children against building snow forts near curbs or cul-de-sacs and encouraged residents to maintain safe distances from snow plows.
Looking ahead, Woodbury Recreation will open registration for pickleball clubs in February. Interested residents should check the city's recreation website for details.
