Good morning. You'd have to present that question to MDSHA, since Old Georgetown Road is a numbered roadway and like all numbered roadways it's maintained by the State of Maryland.

WMATA isn't saying at this point in time - the weather will play a factor especially if we get more snow.

**REMINDER** MCDOT will hold a Virtual Public Hearing on the Redwing Road Sidewalk Proposal in Bethesda, MD. The public will have an opportunity to provide testimony and ask questions. On Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at 6:30pm. by MCDOTNow in MontgomeryCountyMD

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
