Tuesday, January 4, 2022 -- Updates as of 11:30 a.m.:
Snow Routes Still in Effect
Snow Emergency Routes are still in effect. Do not park on these routes. Plows and emergency vehicles must be able to get through unhindered. More details online, www.fallschurchva.gov/SnowRoutes.
Snow Plow & Treatment Progress
Use caution while driving, especially in turn lanes and on side streets. Public Works are treating primary roads and breaking up ice on dead ends and cul-de-sacs.
Clear Sidewalks and Fire Hydrants
Residents and businesses need to clear their sidewalks. Routes to schools should be clear so that students may safely walk to the buildings. Businesses have until noon on Tuesday to clear sidewalks per City code.
If you need help shoveling, call Recreation & Parks at 703-248-5027 (TTY 711) for a list of teens who are available for hire.
Please help your neighbors in case of fire by clearing at least a 3 foot circle around fire hydrants. This can save firefighters precious time in an emergency.
Trash and Recycling Collection as Scheduled on Wednesday
Trash and recycling should be collected on Wednesday as normally scheduled. To receive notice of delays, sign up for the Falls Church Alerts utility outage list and download the Recycle Coach app on your phone.
City Government Operating Status
City government services are available virtually all day. City Hall, the Community Center, and the Mary Riley Styles Public Library buildings open at noon.
The Community Center is also a warming center for those without power. Masks and social distancing are required at all times.
The leaf collection program is paused for snow removal.
