For Immediate Release
Town of Leesburg Snow Emergency Operations Are Now in
Effect
All Parked Vehicles Must Be Removed From Snow Emergency Routes (Market,
Loudoun and King Streets) to Facilitate Snow Removal
Leesburg, VA (January 6, 2015) – The Town of Leesburg has declared a Snow Emergency,
effective immediately.
All parked vehicles must be removed from designated snow emergency routes (Market, King
and Loudoun Streets) in order to facilitate snow removal. Any vehicles parked along designated
snow emergency routes once snow removal operations begin will be towed.
Slating and plowing operations on all Town-maintained roads are underway. Primary roadways
and thoroughfares will be cleared first, followed by secondary and subdivision roads. Priority is
given to major arteries to allow for traffic flow. Secondary streets will be cleared as soon as the
main roadways are cleared.
Residents can assist in the efficient and expeditious removal of snow by doing the following:
Remove parked vehicles from streets and public rights-of-way.
Remove basketball hoops and other equipment from streets and cul-de-sacs.
Avoid shoveling sidewalks and driveways into the street, as this may result in
snow plows pushing additional snow back into driveway areas.
Avoid travel unless absolutely necessary during snow and ice events.
