The small payoff for stolen copper wire costs our communities exponentially. Rampant theft darkens our neighborhoods, compromises safety, and steals from essential city services. This isn't just a Saint Paul issue; it's a statewide problem that demands a comprehensive solution.

Thanks Saint Paul Fire Dept and to the truck driver who safely followed the standard protocol for a hot load. This is a good reminder to always remove batteries, electronics, and hazardous waste from recycling carts.

It’s no joke – summer swimming lessons are now FREE for all Saint Paul youth – because in the land of 10,000 lakes, cost should never be a barrier to water safety skills.

This is a great 🧵 on ❄️!

Please read, share, and, as Melvin Carter says, stay tuned..!

Grateful for the attention Mayor Melvin Carter pays to critical services like snow plowing. It’s appreciated by the workers, it provides first hand experience in how to innovate this work, and it’s part of City of Saint Paul ‘s “enterprise” approach to snow operations.

SNOW UPDATE: Crews will continue to plow center cuts on City of Saint Paul residential streets throughout the evening. We are plowing and salting arterial streets and bridge decks as needed. As temps drop, expect refreeze tonight. Drive with caution. Updates stpaul.gov/snow

Current reality: watching snow plows return in the rain, while listening to the muffled base line of Bauhaus's 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' blasting in our welding shop next to my office. Weird and wonderful. Happy Monday from Public Works. ❄️🦇
