Thorndike Dog Park Now Open

The Town opened a handful of fields Monday after Public Works was able to clear debris from last week's microburst in East Arlington. However, a few still remain closed.

The following is from the Town of Arlington.

On Monday, Public Works started to systematically collect downed Town trees and branches along roadways.

To assist in this clean-up, Public Works is asking residents, if they are able, to stack Town tree branches along the sidewalk in a way that allows access to sidewalks and roadways. At this time, Public Works estimates collection of Town tree debris to be over the next couple weeks.
