From Monday, April 17 through at least the fall of 2023, Cleveland Avenue will be closed between Buford and Larpenteur Avenues for Ramsey County construction work. Note: the Buford Avenue intersection will be temporarily closed until they complete construction through that intersection.

U of M Parking Contract Holders
