Motorized vehicles are not permitted on Town parks and fields without prior consent. Arlington is blessed with multiple parks and play fields that transform into winter wonderlands during snow. We love to see residents enjoying them. However, over the past weekend several people with ATVs, UTVs and even trucks decided to join in the fun. These outings may be exciting, but beyond risking personal injury, it is vandalism. It causes real damage to our parks which is costly and takes time to repair. This impacts their future use by other residents. Please remember to keep these snowy stunts on your private property in the future. And if you see something, please say something. Misconduct and vandalism in our parks should be reported to the Shelby County Sheriff's Office at their non-emergency line (901) 379-7625 Help us keep our parks safe, beautiful and play ready for everyone.

UPDATE: As of 10:00 this morning, Arlington has received around 6 inches of snow, with additional expected over the next few hours. Public Works crews have been working diligently throughout the night and morning to treat and clear roads. Roads are turning to slush in some areas and plows are making some headway, but conditions remain hazardous. We urge everyone to stay home if possible and avoid unnecessary travel. Lows tonight will turn wet roads icy. Staff will be salting again to try to lessen impacts. Your safety is our priority, so please stay safe and take all necessary precautions during the winter storm.

No doubt you've seen forecasts for snow heading our way Thursday night (1/09) into Friday (1/10). Rest assured, Arlington staff have been busy preparing for the winter weather. To help ensure the safety of residents and maintain accessibility, Public Works has all our heavy equipment fueled, checked, and ready to go as needed. They have also checked and loaded the Town salt trucks to ensure they are ready for deployment. STRATEGY - Staff is prepared to come in at midnight tonight to begin salting trouble spots, intersections, hills, bridges, etc, according to Terry Perkins, Public Works Director. Our two plows, which are smaller than the large State vehicles, have limited capacity but will begin to plow primary Town routes as soon as we start to get any accumulation on roads or bridges. They anticipate a continual plowing of Town streets during the event. TOWN FACILITIES - The Parks Department will assist in clearing Town facilities and walkways so essential services remain accessible. However, Town Hall, the Library & Senior Center will be closed Friday and Saturday. TRASH SERVICE - Trash will not run on Friday. Service will resume on Monday with Monday's normal route. Waste Pro plans to catch up on any missed locations from earlier this week by the end of today. TOWN PARKS - Get out and safely enjoy the weather, but please keep all motorized vehicles off park properties and athletic fields to avoid damaging the turf and irrigations lines underneath. Also, be aware that public restrooms will be closed starting this afternoon through the weekend. AFTER-HOURS emergency numbers for the Town will be monitored for urgent needs: - Public Works/Parks after-hours: 901- 568-4259 - Wastewater after-hours: 901-229-1965 - Senior Center: 901-501-1241 - For utility issues, call MLGW's 24-hour utility emergency line: 901-528-4465 Please stay safe and continue to follow any updates on our Facebook page and on the website at www.townofarlington.org/live-feed
