Town of Abingdon—Halloween Observance is still October 31st


Town of Abingdon—Halloween Observance is still October 31st

The Town of Abingdon has received many inquiries about the observance of Halloween. The Town of Abingdon is not rescheduling trick-or-treat visits for another day, and would only do so under extreme circumstances when there is a great risk to public safety. In addition, there are no official Halloween events hosted by the Town of Abingdon on October 31st, so there is nothing to reschedule. With rain in the forecast, we encourage parents to plan accordingly and have a happy and safe Halloween.

Traffic Advisory: Cook Street/Green Spring Road Opening


Traffic Advisory:

With the opening of Food City in The Meadows Shopping Center, regular commuters on the Cook Street extension should be aware of the new traffic pattern. Remember Cook Street at the Green Spring Road intersection is not regulated by traffic signals or signs.  Frequent users of Green Spring Road have grown accustomed to turning on to Cook Street or turning from Cook Street on to Green Spring, without slowing for oncoming traffic because the road into the shopping center was blocked for construction. 

AS OF TODAY Cook Street is fully open.  This means that traffic entering Cook from Green Spring, or traffic turning left from Cook on to Green Spring, must yield the right of way to traffic exiting the shopping center. 

Please slow down and use caution at the newly opened intersection.
