Leesburg Snow Emergency Routes Lifted at 7:00 p.m. Tonight
Property owners and tenant reminded to clear public sidewalks adjacent to
their properties.
Leesburg, VA (February 20, 2019) – As of 7 p.m. this evening, Snow Emergency Routes in the
Town of Leesburg will no longer be in effect. However, crews will continue to clear snow from
the streets through the night.
When Snow Emergency Routes are in effect, no on-street parking is allowed on the following
streets:
King Street, from the Union Cemetery to Country Club Drive
Loudoun Street, from Liberty Street to Harrison Street
Market Street, from Fairview Street to the Route 7/15 Bypass
Property owners or occupants, both residential and commercial, are required to remove snow
from public sidewalks adjoining their properties within 24 hours of a snowfall. If ice is present
and cannot be removed, it should be covered with sand, kitty litter, or a similar substance that
will allow safe passage for pedestrians.
Residents are also requested to clear snow from around fire hydrants and to not shovel snow in
front of storm drain inlets. Snow from sidewalks, driveways, and parking areas must not be
pushed into the street or other Town right-of-way. For more information about the Town’s
snow removal operations, please visit www.leesburgva.gov/snowremoval.
