St. Paul, Minn. — Minneapolis 311 will be open for extended hours on Saturday to answer questions about damage from Wednesday's tornado and severe storms.

Agents will take calls from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday. The information line can assist residents with questions about cleaning up debris, reporting broken traffic signals and street lights, making sure their tree service contractor is properly licensed, and other storm-related concerns.

Crews from the city's Public Works department and Park and Recreation Board will not be picking up debris this weekend. The crews will continue their work on Monday.
