1/06/2017 Afternoon update:  All city parks will be closing at dusk.  As the night continues, temperatures are expected to hover in the teens.  Any snow that has fallen on roads will refreeze over night.  Public Work crews have been out clearing secondary routes all afternoon.  All main routes are passable at this time.

The Brentwood Police Department advised on Friday morning as of 8am to stay off city streets if possible.  During the typical seven o’clock morning rush hour, as snow fell and drivers ventured onto roads, more than 40 accident calls came into dispatch.

Crews with Brentwood Public Works have been out spreading salt all morning, but efforts are hampered with accidents and cars spun out in the roadway.  If you see one of our trucks, please allow them room to work.   At 8am, Holly Tree Gap was closed due to several stranded cars in the ditch.   At 10am, according to Brentwood Police dispatch, several streets remained slick.  The Brentwood Fire and Rescue Department assisted by responding in four-wheel-drive pickup trucks to check on stranded motorists.

In the event of severe weather, residents can always see live traffic conditions in the city on Channel 19.  Within 2017, those traffic cameras will return to our website.  You can also find current information updates on our website as well as the City’s Social Media pages.
