Permanent Snow Ordinance Public Hearing

Submitted by robb on May 14th, 2010 at 5:22:56 PM

The Arlington County Board is considering adopting a permanent ordinance that would require residents and businesses to clear sidewalks after snow and ice storms. The ordinance would establish time frames for snow clearing and fines and penalties for non-compliance. Learn more and share your thoughts regarding this possible permanent ordinance.

A snow ordinance public forum will be held Thursday, May 20, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at 3033 Wilson Blvd. (next to the Clarendon Metro), Conference Rooms 7E and 7F in Arlington. Can't make it? Share your thoughts at snow@arlingtonva.us . Arlington County is currently in a fact-finding mode and all input and ideas are welcome and will be reviewed prior to a Public Hearing scheduled for June 12.
