The Montgomery County Department of Transportation's Division of Highway Services is managing snow removal operations. Unfortunately, our office has been advised by the County Executivethat snow removal has been delayed and complicated by the extreme weight and volume of snow resulting from this weekend's storm. In some areas, crews are actually removing the snow rather than plowing it aside, because of space limitations.
In addition, we are aware that thousands of residents are still without power. PEPCO and BG&E have notified our office that they are working around the clock and have brought in emergency crews to restore power as soon as possible. In the meantime, the County has opened warming centers at the following locations:
- Rockville High School, at 250 Richard Montgomery Drive
- Schweinhaut Senior Center, at1000 Forest Glen Road inSilver Spring
- The Longwood RecreationCenter, at 19300 Georgia Avenue in Brookeville/Olney
If you need to contact DOT directly, the number is 240-777-6000. If you have a medical emergency or need to report a downed, live wire please dial 9-1-1.
We apologize for the difficulties you are experiencing, and appreciate your patience during this emergency. Please let me know if I can be of additional assistance. You can email me at: Councilmember.Navarro@montgomerycountymd.gov
