UPDATE: The City of Charlottesville announced that parking at Market Street and Water Street parking garages will be free up until Christmas Eve. Happy shopping!
——————————
If driving on West Main Street has gotten easier, walking has, perhaps, gotten worse. At least before people could walk in soft snow without the danger of falling. Now, it’s all ice. Hard, slippery ice.
Just when the city announces that a sidewalk waiver is in effect on Tuesday, but normal code is in effect from today onward, C-VILLE took the camera and recorded the conditions on a primary road.
Today, both City Hall and the Albemarle County Offices will open two hours late. The Charlottesville Transit Service (CTS) reports that it will only operate the Free Trolley and Route 7 (to Fashion Square Mall) on a regular basis.
All other routes are canceled.
The intersection of Main and Ridge. Not much better than yesterday, is it?
West Main Street and Ridge Avenue intersection.
Traffic light…and a dangerously close-to-the-road pedestrian walkway.
South Street still buried in snow.
Water Street in front of the Federal Court House. Icy path in the snow.
