Street Snow Removal
- Case Date:
- 2/18/2025
The City of Bloomington Street Department uses excessive amounts of salt during minor snowfall. This morning salt is being put down on streets that are completely clear, that still have plenty of salt remaining from what was spread yesterday afternoon. The salt ends up in PILES on the street. This is harmful to the environment, damaging to motor vehicles, and a waste of money and resources. The city could consider use of sand, which is less destructive. If using salt, please consider using much less and spreading it more judiciously. It will still do the job.
