[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Somerset and the town clears our sidewalks for us. Many of the low income areas are in unincorporated sections of Montgomery County where there is no smaller local government like a town or a village. Are you sure that it isn’t the usual practice for the county to do this in pedestrian-heavy parts of the unincorporated areas of the county?[/quote] Yes. I'm a white person who lives in one of the MoCo "minority areas" and there is no entity available to clear the sidewalks. No HOA and no city. It's up to the county or to no one. [/quote] It’s up to the adjacent property owners. If there is a sidewalk in front of your property you are (or were) legally obligated to shovel the snow off the public sidewalk. You are welcome to request the assembly to recognize your neighborhood as a special taxing district for providing these services if you want to. [/quote]
