Arlington County: Crews remove more than 1,000 loads of snow; residents urged to report trouble spots
Summary
Arlington County staff said crews opened 14th Street last night to move snow from commercial corridors, have removed more than 1,000 loads, and asked residents to use the county's snow issue form with photos to report problem locations.
Lauren, an Arlington County staff member, said county crews opened a section of 14th Street "last night" to move accumulated snow out of commercial corridors and ease clearing operations. "We've done over 1,000 loads out of the commercial corridor," she said, describing heavy ice and compacted snow that has hampered removal efforts.
The county is continuing round-the-clock operations with a focus on keeping critical infrastructure clear and protecting pedestrian routes, Lauren said. She described the current cold snap as prolonging the problem and making snow and ice harder to handle.
To help crews work more efficiently, Arlington County has opened its snow issue form to all addresses. Lauren asked residents to be specific about locations and to attach photos when they submit reports, saying the additional detail helps crews prioritize and respond more quickly.
Lauren closed by thanking residents for their patience and for assisting neighbors while the county finds places to store plowed snow and continues clearing work. No formal actions or decisions were recorded during the update; county crews will continue operations and accept reports through the online form.
