The votes are in and more than 122,000 Minnesotans have voted to name eight snowplows in the state’s fleet. And, of course, Plowy McPlowface tops the list.
The winning names are: Plowy McPlowFace (Metro district); Ope, Just Gonna Plow Right Past Ya (District 4); Duck Duck Orange Truck (District 1); Plow Bunyan (District 2); Snowbi Wan Kenobi (District 6); F. Salt Fitzgerald (District 7), Darth Blader (District 3); and The Truck Formerly Known As Plow (District 8).
The competition started earlier this winter and people were asked to submit suggestions for the names of eight plows. Each plow will serve in one of Minnesota’s eight districts. More than 24,000 suggestions came in, according to CBS Minnesota, and the list was whittled down to 50 that people were asked to vote for online.

ST. PAUL, MN (KDAL) – Two Duluth Seaway Port Authority projects are among the four statewide developments receiving Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) grants.
The Duluth projects are the repair and rebuilding of over a thousand feet of failing dock wall and the construction of a 112,500 square foot warehouse.
The state funding, from the Port Development Assistance Program, adds up to 7.4 million dollars, just under half of the total cost of the Duluth Port Authority projects. ); } return false; }); $( #comments .commentlist .comment-content a ).attr( target , blank );

What Should Colorado’s Snowplows Be Named?
The Colorado Department of Transportation is asking elementary students to come up with worthy monikers for a contest, which runs through March 26. To help with the brainstorming process, the
5280 team had some suggestions. Shane Monaghan •

Colorado’s snowplows do some pretty serious work, making roadways like I-70 safer to travel after winter storms. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t fun and cool and deserving of interesting nicknames.
To help change that, Governor Jared Polis announced a contest on Wednesday morning to name some of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s (CDOT) snowplows. Elementary school students are encouraged to submit names via the “Name that Plow” portal before March 26. Submissions can be no longer than 15 characters, should not include any foul language, and should elevate the “iconic” Colorado brand, according to Polis.
