Arlington (VA) snow fail

Okay since this survey so far has been utterly useless let me explain to you why I'm filling it out.  As far as I'm concerned if the county had done nothing it would have been better.  You claim to be people centric, walking centric, bike and public transit centric, yet every resource and concern seems to be devoted to cars.  I live in ******* and more people walk them drive here.  Yet you were quick to clear roads and had a "who cares attitude its the property owners responsibility about the sidewalks".  Speaking of sidewalks the intersection and curb at ****** street is still a snow covered mess.  So are bike lanes.  Not to mention it is your plows that piled snow there.  If the county had let the snow melt on its own it would have been a better response.  And if you think this is bad for regular pedestrians what about disabled pedestrians in wheel chairs who need access to the curbs still covered in snow.  What about pregnant woman for whom a fall can be very dangerous?  In short Arlington failed.
