The City of Rockville thanks residents for their patience and understanding as we deal with the effects of this past weekend's historic storm and prepare for the storm forecast for Tuesday night and Wednesday. We are working as hard as possible to clear all 160 miles of City streets.

Street Clearing Updates
All available personnel and equipment has been deployed around the clock to clear roads and the City is securing additional equipment to assist. Primary roads are clear and crews are working on secondary roads, as they are now the priority.

City crews are working as quickly as possible to clear the neighborhood streets, but the expected snowfall on Tuesday and Wednesday this week may delay progress on secondary roads, as crews may be required to clear primary streets again.

Stay Off Roads, Move Parked Cars
Residents are asked to stay off the roads to allow crews the space to plow.

Residents are asked to move cars off of roads now and keep them off of the roads during the coming snowfall, as some roads have not been plowed and others will need to be plowed again. Residents may move cars into community center parking lots or the three Town Center parking garages. Parking fees are suspended in the Town Center parking garages through Thursday, Feb. 11.
