The City of Alexandria has declared a snow emergency starting January 24 in preparation for an expected winter storm. All vehicles must be removed from designated snow emergency routes by 10 p.m. on Saturday, January 24.
According to city officials, parking is not allowed on these routes during the snow emergency so that road crews can plow and treat streets safely and efficiently. The affected routes are marked with red and white signs and are listed in the City Code. Vehicles left on these roads may be ticketed or towed.
The specific streets where parking restrictions will apply include King Street (from Union Street to the western city limit), Washington Street (city limit to city limit), Duke Street (Washington Street to western city limit), U.S. Route 1 (city limit to city limit), Braddock Road (North West Street to Beauregard Street), Howard Street (Braddock Road to Jordan Street), Jordan Street (Duke Street to Howard Street), and Eisenhower Avenue (Holland Lane to Van Dorn Street).
Residents are also reminded not to block traffic or interfere with snow removal operations during this period.
“Thank you for helping keep Alexandria’s streets safe and accessible during winter weather.”
