Sidewalk Snow Removal
B-Line Trail
- Case Date:
- 1/17/2025
There is a fair amount of ice on the trail between 3rd and 4th. I know it may be melted before anyone checks this out, but I wanted to mention it to remind the city that it should comply with its own ordinance.
Yesterday I complained about snow on the sidewalk leading to the trail and the overpass on the north side of third. Today the section adjacent to Vectren was fairly clear, and I appreciate that, but not along the closed former motorcycle shop at the corner of 3rd and Madison.
I know the city wants to be bicycle and pedestrian friendly, and built the trail to help achieve that goal. But if the trail and the access paths to the trail are not passable, you are falling far short of that goal. The snow stopped ten days ago. Every road has been clear for more than a week, as have parking lots. But the sidewalks still suck. It’s obvious by the city’s actions where its priorities are. Please consider raising the fines for snow removal violations, and sharing the fees with the people who report the violations. I’d make a mint. Thank you.

Sidewalk not cleared around 301 E rd St, North side of the street just E of Turkuez Cafe. It appears to be directly in front of an empty business. Very treacherous walking.

Dumpster still overflowing. Now tenants are putting trash alongside it. This is getting ridiculous do you not have any authority to get this rectified?

The grate to the sewer has been sunken in for over a year, I have mad a complaint, but now with the slant and the alley wasnt plowed there is an inch plus of ice pooling and collecting. I have taken prospects on tours and almost wrecked and spun out because the ice is so bad. Tenants parents are calling and very upset that their children have to walk of the ice to class. They have stated someone is going to her hurt and file a lawsuit.

Tenants had to break up all the ice last Sunday yet the parking spaces are still not cleared and a liability to everyone living or working in the building.

Building manager has not plowed and says the apartment complex/commercial tenant space is not their responsibility. Tenants have been having to park at Hoosier Heights a few blocks down the road and clients with the businesses have fallen.

I went to the county library down town, to my surprise to see so many people use it for winter protection. It’s nice to give them somewhere warm and be able to sleep, but it totally lose the purpose of a library. Luckily I took a mask at the entrance, the whole place is so unhealthy.

Thank you for clearing the path within Reverend Butler Park and most of the sidewalks around the park quickly after the snowfall earlier this month. Please finish the job by clearing the snow from the sidewalk on Fairview Street in the northeast corner of the park, from where the park path meets the Fairview sidewalk north to 10th Street. Snow and ice still covered this portion of the sidewalk as of this morning, January 17, more than ten days after the end of the snowfall. Please note Bloomington Municipal Code section 6.07.010(a) "It shall be the duty of every owner of any premises abutting a sidewalk in all parts of the city to remove, or cause to be removed, all snow and ice from the sidewalk to allow safe and reasonable travel on said sidewalk within twenty-four hours after snow or ice has ceased to fall or in any way accumulate."
