First, I want to thank you for keeping up with the snow and ice removal over the last several days! I know the city has been extremely busy clearing the snow and ice, and I cannot overstate how much your efforts are appreciated! I do, however, want to alert you to an issue that I've noticed at several intersections/crosswalks in this area. I noticed this issue at both the intersections of Henderson & Atwater and Henderson & Smith (hence why I've chosen a location between the two). I've attached a picture of the intersection at Henderson & Smith [taken at around 10:20 this morning, facing East] to illustrate. These sidewalks have been cleared in one direction (generally toward campus), but the sidewalks that run East/West have been completely blocked off. The ends of these sidewalks are blocked by piles of snow and ice that are 2 or 3 feet tall - taller than the fire hydrants (see picture). This means that anyone who needs to use the sidewalk has to walk out into the road in order to cross the street, which puts both pedestrians and drivers at risk, especially when the rest of the street is covered in ice. Additionally, this is a HUGE accessibility issue - anyone who has mobility issues and/or uses mobility aids, has a service animal, or is similarly impacted by blocked sidewalks will be greatly impacted. These piles of snow will only get worse with the impending snowfall tomorrow, and these will be even more of an issue. Again, I completely understand how busy the city is, and I imagine you're getting similar complaints every couple of minutes. Clearing one sidewalk, however, should not be at the detriment of another. Thank you for your time and your efforts!
Sidewalk Snow removal has been totally inadequate on both sides of Woodlawn for the entire length of the block between 3rd and Atwater. For every snowfall basically ever. All week we have just had to walk in the street or slip and slide and break our arms. It’s always like this.
The sidewalk by the parking lot is covered in snow that has become packed into ice. It is very slick and is a falling hazard. I have to cross this sidewalk every day to get to the IU campus.
Lots of foot traffic in area and pedestrians walking in roadway
The sidewalk by the bus stop near MyEyeDr and Kroger needs to be plowed to the intersection of Covenanter and College Mall Rd. It has become an icy hazard for students and other civilians who are trying to get to the bus stops.
The bus stop and sidewalk at the southeast corner of Covenanter and S Auto Mall Rd is covered by ice and compacted snow. The sidewalk is just as bad all the way to College Mall Rd on the south side of the street. My family member has challenges walking on uneven and slippery ground and is fearful of falling and breaking his hip again. He has to walk from the bus stop to the Shoppes. The property owner needs to remedy the situation immediately. They know the law. So they should be fined for every day since the first snowfall last week.
Multipath clogged with snow
