@Jasper, I'm echoing what charlie just said. I think you got given the run-around. The DC/VA (and DC/MD) line is at the high water mark on the southern side of the Potomac (with the notable exception of National Airport which Congress passed legislation a long time ago transfering this land built out of the Potomac over to Virginia.) DC has jurisdiction over at least three quarters of the bridge ... And yes, it's an arterial, but so are Connecticut Avenue etc. I don't know if DC has special arrangements with the Feds to let them take care of some arterials, but if it does, it certainily wouldn't be with the NHTSA ... NHTSA deal with setting standards and policies, etc. Not with clearing the snow off of bridges ... Unless this person was trying to tell you that since federal policy doesn't suggest they clear the sidewalks of the bridge of snow, that they don't do it ... ? Weird ...
