Council Grills MCDOT on Post-Snowstorm Sidewalk Clearance Failures

On February 3, 2026, the Montgomery County Council held a briefing with MCDOT and MCPS to review the county's response to a recent major snowstorm. Councilmember Mink noted that many side roads remained narrowed to one lane and County-maintained sidewalks—including routes near Blair High School in Four Corners—had not been cleared. MCDOT confirmed it does not currently coordinate snow removal prioritization with MCPS bus or walking routes, and said it would explore future coordination.
