The City of Gatlinburg is taking measures to keep its citizens safe during the winter storm sweeping across Sevier County. To navigate the inclement weather, officials have announced essential changes to the city's operations today.

One key update is the suspension of the Gatlinburg Trolley System. According to an announcement by the City of Gatlinburg, all trolley routes will be out of service for the entire day. The situation will be monitored continuously, and the trolley services will resume their regular schedule as soon as conditions allow. In the face of the storm, Gatlinburg's Street Department is actively working to keep the city's streets as clear and passable as possible.

Additionally, the Gatlinburg Community Center has adjusted its hours in light of the storm. Weather permitting, it is expected to open at 1 p.m. This delayed opening is designed to provide residents with access to the center while ensuring the safety of visitors and staff.

Despite the weather disruptions, essential city services will remain functional. The city affirms that these services will be operational to support the needs of Gatlinburg's residents, businesses, and visitors throughout the storm.
