Montgomery County Executive Ike
Leggett announced an initiative designed to remind all property owners in the
County that they are required by law to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours
of the end of a snowstorm. Residents and businesses are urged to clear walks,
not just because it’s the law but to do it for schoolkids, older adults, people
who depend on transit and for themselves and their families.
The campaign also
asks residents to check up on older adults and vulnerable neighbors, especially
those who live alone.
Everyone is encouraged
to sign up for Alert Montgomery to
receive updates on County services and facilities during storms or emergencies.
