Upping the expectations on snow removal

It's not enough to pat yourself on the back with regard to snow removal from streets (see "Busy rush hour as people head to work and shop" and this editorial, "D.C. area weathered the historic snowstorm with ease," from the Washington Post), how about being concerned about the removal of snow from sidewalks and bike lanes, clearing crosswalks and bus stops and shelters, from sidewalks on city government facilities, etc.?

Note that in my opinion, in my upper northwest but eastern side of DC neighborhood, through Saturday evening, I did not think that the snow removal practice on the collector and neighborhood streets was any great shakes...

By Sunday things improved. But it happened that we did a bunch of errands in Montgomery and Prince George's Counties on Sunday, and the roads we traveled on (Colesville, Georgia, US 1, Queens Chapel Road, etc.) were fine.

But neighborhood collector streets such as 3rd, 5th, and 7th weren't in good shape until Monday.

Maybe in the core of the city, things were much better.
