[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in DC like 90% of my life and moved to the burbs about 10 years ago. I really don't understand why MoCo doesn't have more sidewalks? There are stretches in Gaithersburg where its a major road and the sidewalks end at some point. 108 is like this. Once you get past the OGBC park, the sidewalks pretty much end on that main road.

Hard to do at this point. But some places I don't get it. For instance the Bullis school on Falls Road in Potomac is a close walk to Potomac Village. Yet Falls Road has no sidewalk. So you have around 1,100 students walking distance to Starbucks, Chipotle, Five Guys, Potomac Pizza etc. and no way to walk there safely. It is a very short distance. Why not?

I see hundreds of things like this all the time.  And there are bus stops on Fall Road but no sidewalks. thats weird.     [/quote]

We lived in Brookdale, 4 blocks from Friendship Heights metro, for 10y. You can’t get closer to DC while remaining in MoCo. Every now & then, there would be a proposal to add sidewalks, but there was *always* a loud contingent of people who believed that sidewalks would destroy the ‘rural’ feel of the neighborhood. Just like anywhere, it’s people who just hate the idea that someplace needs to evolve.

While we’re at it, why are so many electric lines draped overhead? Especially in close-in neighborhoods? They come down during every freaking storm and make the place look third world.[/quote]
