Parks hasn’t cleared the sidewalks adjacent to its land either. Pedestrians are a very low priority. The head of parks doesn’t even live in Maryland.

So no, they're not closing Beach Drive because of the snow. There is no flood risk at this time of the year, and the road needs to be kept open for cars.

They never cared about you, OP

It doesn't NEED to be.

But yes, it's because of the flooding.

Why haven’t YOU shoveled it?

You say you’re a frequent user, aren’t you? So why haven’t you done your part? I live next to the park in Kensington. We use the woods trails daily. When trees blow down across the trail, my H and I get our chainsaw and go cut and clear it. We maintain those trails at our own expense and effort. You can certainly bring a snow shovel and do your part, too.

Got a chuckle out of me. Read Rosseau, you dolt.

Do you do your part for the street you live on, too? Or do you expect the county to plow?
