Transit operations will be suspended during this time as road conditions could be dangerous.

Trash and garbage pickup will not run on Tuesday.

An update on when services are expected to resume, including an updated trash and garbage collection schedule, will be released on Tuesday.

The area is under a Flash Flood Warning until further notice. Motorists are asked to not travel down flooded streets and to use extreme caution if they must travel through the City. Public safety and public works crews will be continuously monitoring street conditions.

Residents are also asked to bring in and secure their trash cans and any loose items around their property ahead of the anticipated rainfall.
