Arlington has entered Phase 3 of snow operations as of Monday, Jan. 25. This means that crews are now widening primary and secondary arterial roadways, and beginning the process of cleaning residential streets.
It may take until Tuesday night to reach all the streets. Residents can help identify trouble spots by reporting issues online at gis.arlingtonva.us/mapapps/snowpublic/index.php.
Check plowing progress at emergency.arlingtonva.us/weather/snow-ice/snow-plowing-status/. It is challenging work, as plows not only need to maneuver in tight spaces, but also figure out where to put the volume of snow.
As of press deadline, Arlington Public Schools have canceled school for Tuesday, Jan. 26 and Wednesday, Jan. 27. Many, but not all, Parks and Recreation activities are also cancelled Tuesday and Wednesday in line with the department’s Inclement Weather Policy.
Madison, Lee, Carver and Drew Community Centers remained closed on Tuesday, Jan. 26. Gunston Community Center was scheduled to open at 2:30 p.m. and all other community centers, including joint use facilities located at Langston and Thomas Jefferson, were scheduled to open at noon, Tuesday, Jan. 26. Synthetic fields and Powhatan Springs Skate park remains closed through Friday, Jan. 29.
