Shoveling away the Snowpocalypse

The big snow event over the weekend produced some great photos and opportunities for fun in the snow. Even better than that for some of us is the 3 day weekend! However life must go on and we have no choice but to shovel and plow ourselves out.



Yesterday in my partial walkthrough of the neighborhood Museum Square, Madrigal, City Vista, and the DuMont had cleared their sidewalks. The large surface parking lots on the 300 and 400 blocks of K Street NW had not. This was especially troublesome on the parking lots 900 block frontage along Eye Street. The 425 Eye street renovations are already blocking off the west sidewalk with fencing so the lack of snow clearing on the east sidewalk leaves pedestrians no choice but to walk in the road.

The east side of the 900 block of 5th Street, along the vacant properties, seems like the snow has been packed down by heavy Safeway foot traffic rather than shoveled. That's a recipe for an icy fall. Hopefully the CID Clean Team can throw down some salt.

What other critical sidewalks or roads in the neighborhood are not yet cleared?
