County plows will work around-the-clock; Board of Health and Douglas County Homeless Initiative Executive Committee will hold meetings virtually
Posted on March 13, 2024 2024News and Events
Due to forecasted severe winter weather and heavy snow, all Douglas County government offices and courts will be closed on Thursday, March 14. Many County services remain available 24/7 online.
A powerful winter storm is headed to Douglas County overnight Wednesday. Meteorologists are expecting to measure snow in feet, and the Colorado Department of Transportation is urging drivers to avoid or limit travel from late Wednesday through Friday.
The planned Board of Health meeting will be held virtually at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 14. The Douglas County Homeless Initiative Executive Committee has been cancelled.
Douglas County snow crews are preparing for the storm. For those who live or work in unincorporated areas of the County (areas not in a town or city) the following is a brief summary of the County’s roadway snow removal plan.
Residents in planned communities within unincorporated Douglas County, including Highlands Ranch and Stonegate, are responsible for removing snow and ice from their driveways and the sidewalks in front of their home within 24 hours of the completion of any storm. This is not only a requirement but is a safety consideration for pedestrians — for example, those walking with pets and children walking to and from bus stops and neighborhood schools.
Please keep in mind two additional and important considerations:
If you have concerns or a complaint about snow or ice removal in unincorporated areas of Douglas County, please fill out this form and a member of staff will be in contact with you.
For information on snow and ice removal responsibilities on state highways within Douglas County, visit the Colorado Department of Transportation website. For snow and ice removal practices by the incorporated cities and towns in the County, please click the appropriate link for Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Lone Tree or Parker.
In Highlands Ranch, Douglas County is responsible for plowing roads and neighborhoods, while the Highlands Ranch Metro District is responsible for trails, community parking lots and more.
