The sidewalk on the bridge was not shoveled, so he was forced to walk in the roadway. A pick-up truck didn't see him until it was too late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-27203564376851881132014-02-22T14:59:04.972-08:002014-02-22T14:59:04.972-08:00I think there does need to be a greater attention ...I think there does need to be a greater attention to mobility for pedestrians and transit users after storms. Snow at bus stops has been an ongoing challenge for years in the county. And we certainly need to clear bike trails, if we are going to advocate that more people commute by bike.Robert Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975969463714952623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-19049859533725438652014-02-22T11:05:23.368-08:002014-02-22T11:05:23.368-08:00SAUL CENTERS and LERNER get an F failing grade for...SAUL CENTERS and LERNER get an F failing grade for snow cleanup in WHITE FLINT.<br /><br />As your photos show, Saul did not clear their sidewalks at all on Rockville Pike in front of their Staples shopping center.<br /><br />Lerner scores even worse. Lerner cleared access for cars into White Flint mall, but provided no way for pedestrians and transit users to access the White Flint Mall. <br /><br />As your photos show, even the bus stop was walled in with snow for DAYS after the snow.<br /><br />LERNER also cleared ZERO sidewalks on 355 or inside the mall property. <br /><br />Pedestrians had to walk in the middle of the roads inside the mall property, dodging cars the whole way.<br /><br />FITZGERALD AUTO MALL gets an A (excellent grade) for clearing sidewalks. The sidewalks in front of Fitzgerald were clear the entire length of their property. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
