What's the plan for plowing the streets? Usually the trucks are out immediately but haven't seen or heard any in Sycamore Knolls. I do understand the crews may be busy with main roads but am curious about when they'll get here. bevmusic@pacbell.net 812 606-9466
We have not had a snow plow once up our street and we cannot get out to take care of essential work (husband’s job) plus to care for our elderly parents. We live in Park Ridge East, we figured our road would get one plow at least within the 24 hours since it started snowing. We fear the plows just aren’t coming up our cul de sac. We hope that we can get added to the route soon.
Patterson Drive, especially at the Intersection with W Third Street/Isaac Drive, is covered with snow and there is zero visibility of the road lines or even where curbs are. I have watched cars slide due to lack of salt on the roads and I have watched cars run over curbs and unintentionally drive on the sidewalk because you can’t see where the road is especially at night. My car shown in the image was parked along Patterson (public Bloomington parking zone, not private lot) before the snow came, so that can be used as a reference for where the road is. If snow will continue to heavily fall, making plowing difficult, could reflective traffic cones be placed to outline where the curbs are for drivers to see even when snow is covering the roads? This intersection proves to be a relatively common spot for accidents even in daylight during the Summer, so I am especially worried for the winter months. The driving path to get from the intersection into the gas station also is in poor condition, but that may be private property (meaning, it is the responsibility of the gas station to clear the snow). Thank you :)
Just a reminder that the Winslow Farm neighborhood has several traffic islands (circles) that are city streets. There has been some confusion in the past about whether the snow plows show clean the roads around those islands. Our house is located on one of them, but there are several other circles in Winslow Farm.
We hope you remember Windermere Woods Dr is a city street that is included iin plowing and deicing.
Hi, this is not a big deal today, but you have always salted the street at least to the bottom of the hill. I realize it's a dead end street, but they stopped just before the hill last night. I hope they will go a little further next time so it will be easier to get up the hill if the road gets really bad. Thanks for all you do!
Deborah Drive and Schmalz Blvd in front of World Wide Automotive is very slick today. Sanding would be greatly appreciated!
The 7-link between Morton and Walnut is covered in ice and snow and very dangerous.
This bridge is closed to cars, but not people walking or on bike. Please don't pile the snow up blocking the path across the bridge - or if you can't avoid it, please shovel it clear. And on the west side of the bridge, please plow the street all the way to the bridge instead of stopping at the driveway. (And can you stop that storage business from just pushing all their snow into Allen? It stays icy there for weeks because of it.) Thanks!
As of 11am on Saturday, February 17 it appears all surrounding neighborhoods have been plowed and salted but no roads in Hoosier Acres have been salted or plowed.
