Mayor: Residential roads reach 95% passable; city suspends sidewalk fines

It’s January 29th! Here is where we are: residential roads are 95% passable, 5% snow-covered. We continue to focus on completing plowing, focusing on hard to reach areas, and sidewalks until 100% are passable. #alexandriava #snowstorm #icestorm

Today we remember the 67 lives lost in the tragic DCA midair collision a year ago. My heart continues to go out to their loved ones and all the first responders who were part of rescue and recovery efforts.

The City of Alexandria encourages residents to work together to help clear snow and ice from sidewalks and fire hydrants following last weekend’s storm. Learn more how you can help residents or request help: alexandriava.gov/go/7832

Can't shovel—or can lend a hand? Snow Buddy connects volunteers with residents who need help clearing sidewalks. Enforcement suspended for now. www.alexandriava.gov/news-citywid...
