  • Public Works has cleared all debris from roadways. As of 7:00 p.m. Saturday, approximately 1700 cubic yards of tree debris have been hauled to the landfill.
  • The City has five rovers covering the city for severe weather needs.
  • Police officers continue to provide traffic management support at two intersections without power.

The City of Arlington would like to thank residents and business owners for being patient during the cleanup process. Though it will take some time to clear all of the storm-related debris, City crews and contractors are working together to ensure areas are back to normal.
