You can’t see the curb and the snow is not fully off the street so you can’t really park the right way

Nick's Pub owner, Greg Rago, called in with a complaint of a dumpster that is not being emptied in a timely manner. It currently is filled so high that it is to Nick's second story. He stated that this is not a snow issue, that it is a common occurrence. The owner and property management of the building have been notified numerous times and are refusing to do anything about it. He says that the issue stems from apartment residents or guests parking in front of this dumpster making it impossible for their sanitation company to empty the dumpster. Greg Rago would like a call at 812-606-2214.
I was unable to use the sidewalk via my wheelchair due to the sidewalk not being cleared in front of the old brewery
Parker Management openly admits that they will not shovel sidewalks or cut lawns unless someone complains. They should be fined for not shoveling by now. They have attended to *none* of the properties they are supposedly responsible for. This is just one example of multiple properties in the neighborhood. They say that it will eventually melt on its own.
I'm an old man on a walker that needs to get to work. I park on the street, but getting to the sidewalk is just about impossible with all the snow piled in the way. If I fall I can't get back up. Even if someone wants to put money in a meter they must climb the snow mountain. I hate to complain because I know you guys are extremely busy with all the snow on the streets but it is very dangerous trying to make it to a sidewalk. Thanks for your time.
Please enforce the sidewalk snow removal ordinance for IU properties. In many cases the steps and paths on IU property have been cleared while facilities staff seem to have ignored the sidewalks adjacent to the IU property. This applies to several blocks on the western edge of campus (7th thru 10th, Indiana to Woodlawn). My neighbors and I cleared our sidewalks Monday night. Here in an area where people are trying to get to work, it's even more important, and yet it's the third work day with unsafe sidewalk conditions.
The sidewalks near and on IU campus are very poorly plowed. Some are cleared, but others are quite treacherous -- packed-down snow, unavoidable ice, and deeply plowed snow that's blocking basically all ways to get off the sidewalk if you have to cross the street. I parked in the lot on Indiana by BBC and struggled to walk up Indiana, Dunn Meadow, 7th, Park, and 8th. IU hasn't issued any warning to staff (in fact, they haven't sent a single email about the snow at all). I can't imagine how difficult it would be for someone with limited mobility to come to work today!
