Wow, I have to admit that I am shocked by this. I don’t really mind but am surprised.

Go try to drive a large vehicle around the barely plowed one lane road in South Arlington and tell me you think that’s safe.

None of these sidewalks are going to be clear on Tuesday and the county doesn’t enforce the sidewalk ordinance.

Total and utter bs.

I usually don’t really care about this stuff but this is a steaming pile of incompetence and mismanagement.

Tell me what’s different Tuesday. get out there to start digging your own road out for Tuesday. Because that is apparently the actual plan.

+1.
I thought they'd be out plowing more around me in S Arlington, but I haven't seen that at all. Roads and sidewalks are a disaster. Can't imagine it'll be any better by Tuesday to be honest.

That’s the issue. It’s not getting warm for two weeks. So while I agree it’s not great, I’m not sure this is the way to go, especially at the end of the semester.

Hopefully finally getting a high of 32 Monday will help the salt melt more of this ice that is covering sidewalks.

From what I hear, they’ve been driving the buses around to find problems spots and will be working with the county / contractors tomorrow to help clear those. Tomorrow it will be above freezing and more able to do that.

Even Loudoun is doing a two-hour delay.

I think it’s a good call. We are walkers and our sidewalks are treacherous. An Amazon truck got stuck at the top of our street today

Here are ways the community can help prepare for a safe return on Tuesday:
Clear Areas: Help clear sidewalks and bus stops in your neighborhood.
Plan Ahead: Allow extra travel time and plan your route to school.
Accompany Students: Walk bus riders to stops, use caution, and ensure they are dressed warmly.
Share Rides: Share rides when possible and look out for pedestrians, as some may be walking in the street due to uncleared sidewalks.
Be Patient: Bus drivers may need extra time navigating narrow streets. Remember that buses cannot back up.

Then communicate that and they’ve had days to do that.

Loudon does not have the same neighborhood dynamics as Arlington, get real.

OK negative Nelly, they’ve been doing that since last Friday.

Let’s be real they didn’t do much over the weekend and now it’s back to work tomorrow. Zero urgency and who cares.
