Snow Emergency Declaration – Effective Today, Saturday, February 21 at 8:00 PM

Dear Residents,
The PWCA has declared a Snow Emergency effective today, Saturday, February 21 at 8:00 PM based on the projected snow totals for the upcoming winter event. This is expected to be a major event, and we need to be prepared.
________________________________________
The Following Is in Effect
1. No Parking – Gainsborough Drive
All white-painted curbs on Gainsborough Drive are No Parking Zones as of today, Saturday, February 21 at 8:00 PM.
ANY vehicle parked in No Parking Zones after this time is subject to towing at the owner’s expense.
2. Pool Parking Lot – Open for Resident Parking
The pool parking lot is opened for parking effective today, Saturday, February 21 at 8:00 PM.
Vehicles may park in the pool parking lot with valid permits during this event. Please remove your vehicles once the event is complete. Further notice will be provided when open parking is terminated.
3. 2025–2026 Snow Removal Policy
3A. Request you clear any sidewalks and/or paver walkways in front of and to the rear (if appropriate) of your home.
3B. If the snow totals are sufficient, please consider removing snow around your mailboxes and fire hydrants.
3C. Please DO NOT expect to be able to drive through our community for days after this event should significant snowfall occur. The first priority will be to open an emergency access lane throughout the community. Crews will return later to widen the lanes for resident travel.
3D. DO NOT place snow you shovel in the street. That will make street clearing much harder and take much longer to complete — you are creating danger for yourself and other residents. In the past, work has been stopped in non-compliant areas so crews could concentrate on areas that followed the rules.
3E. Please do not direct snow removal crews. They are operating under direction from the contractor and the Association. If you have concerns, please contact the event lead or email Snow@ParkWestCommunity.org.
________________________________________
Duration of the Snow Emergency
The Snow Emergency will remain in effect until canceled via email blast for the specific Gainsborough Drive snow emergency zones and any additional identified NO PARKING areas. Message board notices will be removed once all zones have been cleared after the snow event.
________________________________________
We appreciate your help — the goal is to be prepared. Please see the November 2025 newsletter for our Cold Weather Preparation article and use today to get your home and vehicles ready for this winter event.
If you have any questions, please contact Joe Underwood at (703) 323-4710.
Stay safe and be prepared,
Park West Community Association

Street Lights on Upper Carriagepark Road

Good morning.  For those residents living in the 4900 block of Carriagepark Road.

The Service Delivery Point (SDP) replacement project occurred yesterday but Dominion found another issue between the distribution box and the SDP.  That challenge should be remediated today and an inspection is scheduled for later today.

All street lights on upper CPR are planned to be operational this evening.

Regards,

Mark
