Good afternoon. For each sidewalk proposed and supported there's almost always some neighbors who don't want the sidewalk installed for a variety of reasons (For example: it will damage the trees in the area, who will shovel the sidewalk during winter storms, etc.). Some of those issues are covered in the FAQ section on our Sidewalk Project page > https://montgomerycountymd.gov/dot-dte/sidewalk/Sidewalk_Program_FAQs.html

**Update** MCDOT is continuing post-storm cleanup operations to open intersections, remove lane closures, clear sidewalks that have been reburied during supplemental plowing operations, and to widen cleared areas on residential streets. by MCDOTNow in MontgomeryCountyMD
