The crowded scene inside Minneapolis' impound lot following Sunday's snow emergency has sparked concerns over the potential for COVID-19 transmission.
City resident Steve Bush was among the scores who had their vehicles towed after the city declared an emergency starting Sunday evening in response to the snow that fell Saturday.
Bush said he wasn't aware one had been declared and didn't expect one "after such a light snowfall," but his irritation grew to alarm when he arrived at the impound lot on Colfax Avenue North.

Vanderpool's attorney previously denied the crime occurred.
The 19-year-old woman said Vanderpool and another officer pulled her over at Sheriff Road and Cabin Branch Drive at about 11:20 p.m. Sept. 6, police said.
Vanderpool asked her to step out of the car and she was placed into handcuffs. He then called for a tow truck to impound her car.
A judge dropped a first-degree rape charge against a former Maryland police officer accused of offering to release a woman from custody in exchange for sex. Prince George's County Bureau Chief Tracee Wilkins reports.
Police say the victim was taken to the Fairmount Heights Police Department. Vanderpool "demanded the victim engage in a sex act or be arrested," police said in a statement Wednesday. "The victim complied," police said.

snow removal is very important in cities like yours but the rules are very difficult to understand sometimes. i know you were trying to make things a little easier through your tweets. did it work? >> yeah, definitely it worked. for those who didn't, i had to shame them a little bit. i said you ain't so groovy. you ain't no playa if you can't move your car without a poem from the mayor. it's important for people to move their car. otherwise the snow plow driver has to go around and leaves a big hump in the snow that sits out there in the streets for the whole year. so my goal is to starve the impound lot. people think they want the city to tow their car because we make money off of it. the idea is that we want everybody to move their car. we give them e-mail text alerts and reverse 911 calls and we go out into bathroom stalls and write in grease pencil. we do everything we can to tell people to move your darn car so we can plow the streets. people in minnesota get it. we move the cars, get them off
