The snow on the B-line crossing the convention center parking lot alley is completely compacted to a sheet of ice. Can this be salted to be safer for bikers and pedestrians?

Almost all lights out on street
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 :)
Holes in northbound lane need patched
Large (maybe 5' by 3') hole in the street was recently filled with asphalt, but the new asphalt lies below the level of the road at the edge of the hole. The bump is quite harsh to drive over
Is First Street open between Rogers and College? There are barricades but it seems like they move every day, And there are vehicles often doing u turns or trying to turn onto a street that is closed. Feels like there needs to be some better signage so people know what's going on.
First Street, between College and Rogers, is completely open and has been for weeks. Why is the #2 route (southbound) not using it? The detour is no longer needed.
Along southbound The Stands Drive there are at least four (4) street light posts that have the access panel and/or a light lens removed. Approximate locations are as follows: (1) first southbound side light post you come to on The Stands Drive just south E.Rogers Road (access panel is dangling on post and two light lens are missing); (2) light post located on southbound side at The Stands Drive and E.Autumn Drive (access panel is open and loose but still attached to the post); (3) first southbound light post you come to on The Stands Drive just south of E.Autumn Drive (access panel is on the ground at the base of the post; and (4) southbound light post on The Stands Drive at S.Ashwood Drive (access panel to light post is removed and sitting on top of adjacent green utility box). Photos are attached.
On the 3400 block of South Kennedy Drive, there are numerous potholes going down the street. It's been patched before but the potholes have started to open back up. They start at the corner of Burks and Kennedy and goes all the way down to the fire station. I know that everyone is extremely busy with storm cleanup, but can someone look at this please? Thanks for all that you do!
The sidewalk on the west side of Sare Road next to the Steeplechase apartments has not been cleared of snow. They did not clear the sidewalk in the previous storm either.
