🚧Temporary Road Closure – Walker St 🚧 On Monday, July 14, crews will be out bright and early to remove some trees along Walker Street between Chester and Quintard. That stretch will be closed to through traffic while the work is underway — but don’t worry, we’re expecting to wrap up by lunchtime!
Plan ahead, take an alternate route, and give our crews a wave (from a safe distance)! Thanks for your patience as we keep Arlington looking great.

PUBLIC MEETING - The Library Board meeting on Thursday, July 24, 2025 will be held in the Safe Room (11842 Otto Lane, Arlington, TN) due to the ongoing construction at Town Hall. The meeting will begin at 5pm and is open to the public. As always, meeting length varies based on the agenda.


✅ Safe Room Update: Repairs Complete!✅ Remember in May when our Safe Room got a "haircut" by Mother Nature? Well, we’re happy to report the trim is cleaned up and a new roof is in place! While it’s not structural, the roof does help with moisture and climate control, playing an important support role in keeping things comfortable inside.
The big concrete bunker underneath—our actual tornado shelter—never missed a beat. But now it looks as solid on the outside as it always was on the inside.
Thanks for your patience as we got it all fixed up. The Safe Room is looking sharp again and, more importantly, still ready if and when you need it

🚨Smoke Testing Starts Today🚨 Reminder to those in Arlington Downs - the Wastewater Department will be conducting smoke testing in your neighborhood to help us identify any leaks or cracks in the sanitary sewer system. Testing will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., July 7–8.
WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE: You may notice harmless, white or gray smoke coming from manholes, vents, or even the ground. This is completely normal and part of the test!
WHAT IT MEANS: The smoke helps us locate places where rainwater might sneak into the sewer system. It’s non-toxic, odorless, and won’t stain—just a clever tool in our utility toolbox.
WHAT TO DO:
- Pour about a gallon of water into any rarely used drains (like in your basement or guest bath) to ensure traps are filled.
- If smoke somehow enters your home, open some windows and let the crew nearby know - or Call Us!
- No need to be home, just be aware!
📞 Questions? Give us a call at 901-867-1782. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to improve our infrastructure!

🎉 That’s a Wrap, Arlington! We’ve officially wrapped up our Community Walking program — and what a fantastic run of 6-week classes it’s been! Over 120 adults of all ages laced up their sneakers and committed to strengthening their health and our community.
Along the way, we:
- Built friendships
- Boosted strength and stamina
- Discovered (and rediscovered!) our beautiful parks
- And had a whole lot of FUN doing it!
None of this would’ve been possible without the incredible support we received:
- A huge THANK YOU to the National Recreation and Park Association for the grant that brought this program to life.
- Big thanks to Dynamix Physical Therapy and Results Physical Therapy (Arlington) for the educational sessions that kept us walking smart.
- Shoutout to SY Wilson’s and Patriot Bank for donating awesome prizes!
- And of course, to our amazing volunteers who made everything run smoothly!
And last but definitely not least — THANK YOU to our participants. You showed up, showed out, and truly made this a community to be proud of. 💙
Stay active, stay connected, and we’ll see you out in the parks! #ArlingtonTN #CommunityWalk #ThankYouWalkers #HealthyCommunity
