I remember living in the City on the northside when the City Council thought it would be a good idea to make all of the streets one-way so that in the summer the streets could be swept and in the winter they could plow the streets.I remember the old 2 man garbage trucks had snow plows mounted on them and they came down Hull street 3 abreast.That happened 1 time.I wish I had taken a pic of that!The streets were posted so that on M-T-W you parked on one side and on T-F-S you parked on the other side.Sunday you could park on both sides.I also remember it was a mess because most of my neighbors had 2 cars so that meant parking on Minnesota during the day so that you wouldn't receive a ticket.The streets are still one-way in my old neighborhood,they were never switched back after the experiment.
