Then walk on the snow. I'm sure there are plenty of footsteps to follow.


Snow is manageable. Being pushed into traffic because sidewalks weren’t plowed is not. The concern is that unplowed sidewalks force students into the roadway. That’s why sidewalks are supposed to be cleared.



They don't force them onto the road. They can walk on sidewalks that haven't been cleared. They can walk on lawns.

Don't be hating on Lakeforest Mall now. They could have dumped it into the lakes nearby.


Actually they can't. It pollutes.

Major sidewalks aren’t cleared yet on Randolph Rd or Dewey. Many kids in the Wheaton walking zone use those to catch the public bus or walk the full 2 miles to school

This. I live in the area and it is definitely not safe for walkers - imagine walking on a busy road because there is a mound of ice, with cars going both ways - QO Road always has traffic.

I drove past Glen Haven ES and Sligo Middle yesterday evening and they both had been plowed.


So sounds like Clarksburg, Clearspring, Damascus, and Strawberry Knoll were probably not plowed as of Thursday evening/Friday morning?

Not sure as of this evening, but KAH locations that were closed today included Barnsley, Bayard Rustin, Cannon Road, Fairland, Flower Valley, Garrett Park, Meadow Hall, and Westover-- the other 18 were open.
