Prince George's residents get creative to get out of neighborhoods

With Prince George's County struggling to meet the demand from residents to quickly clear streets, some are looking into other avenues to allow them to safely travel at least out of their neighborhoods.

Ted Hull, president of the Cool Spring Terrace Civic Association in Adelphi, said some residents have cleared their own streets, by plow and shovel, rather than wait for county crews or private contractors.

While county crews did not reach some Adelphi neighborhoods until Tuesday, Hull said one resident, Amy Hershberger, used her own truck with a plow attached to the front to clear her street and cul-de-sac.

"We have some very resourceful people in our communities," Hull said. "If ever an award were given out for helping your community, Amy Hershberger [deserves it]."
