Winter Weather Plan

The LLA Winter Weather Plan is enacted any time there is the potential for a significant winter precipitation event , including snow , sleet , and / or freezing rain , as typically announced by the National Weather Service .
The purpose of this plan is to ensure that roadways are clear of vehicle traffic and parked cars to allow for the safe passage of snow removal equipment and emergency service vehicles . This plan will go into effect no more than eight hours before the forecasted weather event and will remain in effect no more than eight hours after precipitation has ceased unless otherwise notified .
RESIDENTS ARE ASKED TO DO THE FOLLOWING IN SNOW EMERGENCY SITUATIONS :
• Do not park on the streets ; park in your garage or driveway so that snowplows can do their job , and emergency vehicles can get through if needed .
• Please remove all basketball hoops , soccer nets , and other portable items that may be damaged by snowplows .
• Clear snow from your driveways , driveway culverts , sidewalks , parking areas , heating compressors , mailboxes , nearby fire hydrants , storm drains and trash container areas .
• Report hazards and areas in need of maintenance to your Village Manager . In case of an EMERGENCY involving community roads and properties after office hours , call 301-293-3802 . The information will immediately be reported to LLA staff .
