Town of Arlington

All Town offices will be CLOSED today (June 19) in observance of the Juneteenth holiday.

👉This is NOT a Trash Service holiday - collections will run on normal schedule.

🎉 Airline Road Is Open! 🎉 The wait is over. Airline Road is now open to traffic!

While it is open, there are still a few minor items to finish in the coming days. Those activities may require temporary lane or shoulder closures in small areas, but traffic will remain open during the work.

We're excited to have this connection back and appreciate everyone's patience during the project. Safe travels!

🎶 Music On The Square is this Saturday! 🎶

Join us at The Crossing Amphitheater in Depot Square this Saturday night for an evening of live music, food, and community fun!

This month’s featured band is HAIRSPRAY NATION.

📍 Music On The Square happens every 3rd Saturday from May through October and all concerts are FREE to attend (weather permitting). Food will be available for purchase, so come hungry and ready to enjoy a great night with friends and neighbors.

A big thank you to the Arlington Chamber for coordinating and to this month’s sponsors: SY Wilson & Co and Spreading Sunshine for helping make this event possible!

We’ll see you at the Crossing, Arlington!

🚧 We're Almost There! 🚧

The Airline Road repair project is in its final stages, but it will take a little longer than originally anticipated. Instead of reopening in mid-June, we're now aiming for the end of June.

Crews are wrapping up final details and making sure everything is completed safely and ready for traffic before the road reopens.

Thank you for your patience during this closure. We know it's been a long few months, and we're looking forward to getting Airline Road back open as soon as possible! 🚗

It's a short week, but we're packing a lot of fun into it Arlington!

HYDRANT FLUSHING – WEEKLY UPDATE 💧(Week of June 15 - 19)

The AFD schedule for flushing hydrants this week is as shown on the attached map. This is part of the annual systemwide maintenance. Work will only occur between 9am - 4pm.

💧REMINDER: You may notice temporary water discoloration and/or lower pressure while crews are in your area. This is normal and should clear if you run cold water for a few minutes. We also recommend waiting to wash laundry until water runs clear.

Just a reminder that there are two great community events happening tomorrow (6/13)!

🛍️ Arlington Crossing Market
8 AM-Noon | Forrest Street Park

✨ "Unearth the Magic" with Terry Hedges
1 PM | Safe Room

Shop local, then enjoy an afternoon of history, archaeology, reading, and magic. We hope to see you there!

The Line Dancing event scheduled at The Crossing is cancelled this morning due to the stormy weather moving into Town.

We will work to reschedule and share the new date when we have it. Sorry for any inconvenience.

📣 Oops... we're a little late on this one!

At our June 1st Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, Arlington Elementary 4th grader William Grillis served as Mayor for the Day.

Before the school year ended, William met with Mayor Wissman, enjoyed lunch together at school, and had the chance to learn more about local government with his classmates. Then, on June 1, he took his seat beside the Mayor and even helped lead the Board meeting.

William did a fantastic job. And if we're being honest, it was one of the fastest meetings we've had in quite a while! In fact, William ran the meeting so efficiently that we completely forgot to post about it last week. Better late than never!
