Shoveling, sand and salt

Residents are responsible for shoveling sidewalks on their property. After shoveling, spreading a sand and salt mixture is helpful to improve traction. The city offers free sand and salt to residents 24/7 at the public works facility, 11522 Minnetonka Blvd., located just north of the recycling center on the east side of the building. Please bring your own shovels and containers. Call 952-988-8400 to ask questions or learn more.
