Cary, NC – With Winter Storm Gianna in the rearview mirror, shadow or no shadow, Cary is shifting gears and scaling back its response, thanks in large part to the swift work of the A+ Team and a forecast calling for above-freezing temperatures by Wednesday. Crews have treated intersections, primary and secondary streets, and gone into neighborhood streets and cul-de-sacs based on curbside collection routes.  

Snow Command continues to operate and focuses on icy patches, historically slick spots, and any remaining plowing/treating based on upcoming curbside collection schedules. Effective at 5 p.m. today, Cary’s Emergency Operations Center will close.  

Based on the current forecast, the following Cary services are impacted for Tuesday, February 3: 

  • Cary Town Hall and all staffed facilities will return to normal operation on Tuesday, February 3.  

  • Curbside collection is delayed one day this week. Please keep your carts off the street as best as possible so plows can fully service the area and consider downloading the Cary Collects app for service delays and adjustments.  

  • The Citizen’s Convenience Center will open at 8 a.m. on Tuesday 

  • Due to the icy conditions and to ensure the safety of passengers and employees, GoCary will suspend services at 5 p.m. Monday, February 2. Service will resume for fixed route and Tier 1 Door to Door service at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 3. Tier 2 and Tier 3 Door to Door service will remain suspended on Tuesday.  

While conditions have improved significantly, drivers are reminded that slick spots may still exist, particularly on shaded roads, bridges, and neighborhood streets. For non-emergency concerns, such as slick spots or downed trees, contact Cary 311. Use caution, and view Cary’s live traffic cam and live traffic map to see the real-time status of Cary streets.
