Come hungry and ready to learn!
A driver accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake and bumped into the front plate glass window. The good news - everyone appears to be ok, including the driver and people inside the restaurant. Damage appears to be minor.
Just one of those unfortunate accidents, but thankfully no injuries.
🌸 All Vendor Spots Now Full – Arlington in April!
You didn’t just respond... you filled every spot! Vendor spaces for next month’s Arlington in April event in Depot Square are now completely full.
That means a Square full of arts, crafts, food, fun, and live music. Start making your plans now. We’ll see you there!
🚧 We can’t believe we’re still saying this… 🚧 Please stop driving around the barricades on Airline Road.
The road is closed for a reason. Crews need the full roadway for repairs, and vehicles entering the work zone create a serious safety hazard for all involved.
If you are not a resident in the closed section, use the detour.
⛈️ Stay Weather Aware Today - Strong storms are expected in our area today, with the potential for heavy rain, strong winds, and hail. The chance of tornadoes is low, but not zero.
If a tornado warning is issued for our area, the Town’s Tornado Safe Room will open for public use (located at 11842 Otto Lane, beside Arlington Elementary).
Please stay weather aware and monitor local alerts.
Summers Road will be closed for construction starting March 24th, 2026. The road will remain closed for the duration of the project, and residents are asked to use the designated detour route during this time.
Thank you for your patience as improvements are made.
Please use caution when traveling through this area. While crews will work to avoid lane closures, brief traffic interruptions may occur as work progresses.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to improve accessibility and safety in our community.

🚧 Airline Road Closure Reminder 🚧 We want to clarify something important: Road Closed to Thru Traffic means Road Closed to You.
If you don't live on that specific stretch of Airline Rd, the closure applies to you. Residents who live in the closed area have controlled access to their homes. All other traffic must follow the posted detour.
The closed portion of the road is narrow, with deep drainage ditches along the side. Crews need the full width of the roadway to safely repair erosion and improve drainage. Driving around barricades creates a serious safety risk for workers, residents, and drivers.
Barricades are not suggestions — they're there to protect lives and keep the project moving safely and on schedule.
We appreciate everyone who is using the detour and helping us complete this work safely. 🚧
In an emergency: Call 911. Push hard and fast until help arrives.
You can save a life.
