The neighborhoods west of Old G-Town, between Greentree and Bradley, have sidewalks on many, but not ALL, the streets.

Not the homes closest to Wisconsin. Need to walk in the narrow road to get to the dining/shopping areas.

It is an unfortunate result in the United States being ahead of its time in the 1950's and 1960's, when many suburbs were designed: cars were all the rage then.

Now, 50 years later, the tide has turned (at least in larger cities), but it's extremely expensive to retroactively make roads pedestrian friendly.

I have no idea if this is true, but someone once told me that if there are no sidewalks public transportation (busses) won't ever have a route through the neighborhood.

I don't know if it was true or is true but just one theory I've heard...

Most of Battery Park (between Wilson Lane and Old Georgetown Road) has sidewalks, sometimes on only one side though. With 2 small children, this was an important issue for us.

East Bethesda has sidewalks

20:23 - is that true PP? NV does not work that way (that would require too much common sense), so I am curious.

Homes closest to the schools will have sidewalks - those children are too close to be on a bus route and will walk/car to school.

Considering the cost of these houses, what's with the lack of sidewalks? Seems like a hazard for walking and biking. Any recommendations for sidewallked neighborhoods in the Old G./Wilson/Bradley area? Thanks in advance.
