General - Feb 11, 2026
Council and staff floated ideas to make the next storm easier: asking residents to park off the street or on alternating sides, buying smaller sidewalk machines, and launching a volunteer "Snow Hero" program to help elderly and homebound neighbors dig out.
City Council - Feb 2, 2026
City crews are still chipping away at ice after a major storm — bus stops cleared, streets improving, but state-owned overpasses on Greenbelt Road remain impassable for pedestrians, and some apartment sidewalks are iced over. Storm drains will be monitored as snow melts.
