The area around the intersection of E 20th and N Washington St is a sheet of thick ice. I run a trash company here in town, and we are having issues servicing customers due to this issue.
Alleys covered in ice
I came over to my elderly mother house to remove snow, around noon today. The roads had already been plowed at this time. I shoveled her walk and the sidewalk in front of her home, like a responsible member of the community. All homeowners are required by law, if they are shared with a public sidewalk we have to maintain said sidewalk. I came back to over to her house a few hours later to discover a plow came to plow the gutter area. Mind you the road has already been plowed, so by plowing the small insignificant portion of the road, the driver essentially cover the sidewalk with a icy mix of snow and slush. Now, I have to remove the snow yet again because it’s even more of a hazard now. Since chunks of ice are scattered along the sidewalk. Honestly, that driver should clean the sidewalk or someone from the the city, because this is unacceptable, it created a hazard and for what? To plow the gutters!? Response is needed.
This is the second year that I have noticed this issue, the roads at Atlas on 17th apartment complex are poorly plowed and not salted. Last year, a car slid and hit my parked car, today someone crashed into a pole, and I have consistently seen people sliding around the curve and up the hill. I called the apartment complex and they said it is a city issue because it is a city street. The other streets in Bloomington are perfectly plowed and salted but here there always seem to be plow and salt problems.
Every year the snow guy for Happy Hollow comes and tears up our neighborhood. Should I clean this up? I’ve complained about him before when he tore up my driveway and this year I get this? My neighbor had a very large patch of yard torn up last year. We’ve asked him not to get so close to the edge and I feel like now it’s simply on purpose… not thrilled with the individual.
All of stadium crossing and varsity court has roads that are barely drivable.
Jason with Republic Services Trash Service. The alleys behind Raising Canes on Kirwood are a solid sheet of ice. They need to be salted to get major customer areas serviced.
John Hinkle Pl is covered in packed snow and ice. The street has not been salted.
Headley is a gravel road that has been iced over since the first major snow. Many of us at the end cannot access the main roads with our vehicles. Headley is in desperate need of salt for the ice to melt.
