| Cordell Avenue at Norfolk Avenue |
Property owners with uncleared sidewalks in downtown Bethesda were able to run out the clock last night. While Fairmont Avenue's sidewalk was now well-cleared Thursday morning, a half-job was done on the sidewalks surrounding the vacant properties associated with the 8000 and 8008 Wisconsin Avenue redevelopment projects along Cordell and Woodmont Avenues, north of Bethesda Chocolates.

| "Missed a spot" is an understatement on Cordell between Woodmont and Wisconsin Aves. |
A narrow path was shoveled on the Woodmont side by Thursday evening, and ice stretched across the entire width of the sidewalk in some spots on the Cordell side. Yet to be cleared was the southeast corner of the intersection of Cordell and Norfolk Avenue. Alas, the next snowstorm began about five hours ago, and has effectively turned the hourglass back over again for the sidewalks of Bethesda.

Just heard something on WTOP, but didn't write down the details, about a retired firefighter who this week (and maybe also previously) took it upon himself to clear snow from a long stretch of sidewalk along Old Georgetown Road, so that people wouldn't have to walk in the street.
ReplyDeleteMaybe do an interview/profile of that local hero, Robert?
A certain "high end" retailer witj wo huge "bookend" parking lots on the east side of Wisconsin across from our popular medical building saw fit to only clear a short section of sidewalk that expressly benefited their few walking customers but totally ignored any transiting pedestrians. Just another example of disrespect for the county and the neighborhood.
