Hey Arlington - we're happy to see events in Arlington that lend to our wonderful sense of community - garage sales, sporting events, car shows, etc. But if you use signs to direct people to your events - please remember to do it responsibly with 3 simple steps... 1 - don't attach signs to regulatory signs or sign posts. Tape and glue leave a mess that can damage decorative posts and diminish their reflectivity, which is dangerous. 2 - don't use nails or staples in wooden utility poles. If left behind, these become hazards for utility workers. 3 - don't forget to Take Them Down as soon as your event is over. Otherwise your event signs become litter for others to deal with. Let's work together to keep our community active, safe and beautiful!

HELP KEEP ARLINGTON BEAUTIFUL! As our community grows, so does the need for Code Enforcement. Code Enforcement is the prevention, detection and enforcement of violations of Town statutes and ordinances that govern Arlington. Thanks to the vigilance of our residents, we have been able to maintain and keep Arlington a beautiful community. In the coming months, Code Enforcement will be making rounds to ensure our community remains the best! See some of the most common violations:

In the meantime, here are the dates so you can start filling up your calendar. https://www.townofarlington.org/o/arlington/page/special-events

Don't forget the Arlington Crossing Market this coming Saturday from 8am - Noon. We're expecting a full house of great vendors (listed below)!

ROAD CLOSURE NOTICE - Several Streets will be CLOSED on Monday, September 30th. NO TRAFFIC will be permitted to travel in the identified construction areas from 7am - 7pm that day. This closure will allow for a pavement preservation treatment to extend the life of the streets and reduce costs to the Town. PLAN AHEAD for the closure by: - ensuring NO vehicles are parked on the streets in these areas (any vehicles on the street will be towed), - putting garbage out the night before & removing cans after a revised 6am pickup, and - by turning off any sprinkler systems 24 hours prior to work beginning (as water damage to the surface will result in repair costs). If there is a cancellation due to weather, no notice will be provided - but if the barricades are removed, you are free to bring cars back onto the street. The Closure will be rescheduled and you will receive notification of the new date at least 2-3 days prior. Contact the project contractor, Holbrook Asphalt Co, should you require earlier notification of any rescheduled dates - 901/495-2230.
