Parker Management openly admits that they will not shovel sidewalks or cut lawns unless someone complains. They should be fined for not shoveling by now. They have attended to *none* of the properties they are supposedly responsible for. This is just one example of multiple properties in the neighborhood. They say that it will eventually melt on its own.
Missed my recycling. Had container at curb but driver did not pick up.
Trash collection was on Tuesday. It's Thursday and the cans are still out on Ballantine Rd. north of Hunter.
Sidewalk along 3rd St not shoveled
Every year, when it snows, my street (W 14th St) doesn't get plowed when Lindbergh Dr and Oolitic Dr gets taking care of. There are a lot of cars that goes up W14th street every day and in the snow. This year, three cars almost hit my car, and I had to call your department for help. Someone did come but he didn't enough salt down before I complained. I am asking for someone to put some salt on W 14th St today so other residents, and I can be able to go up and down my street to go to and from work tomorrow. Please and thank you.
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!
Blocked sidewalk and ice all over
The path between weatherstone and hawthorne, part of the new Hawthorne-Weatherstone Greenway, has not been cleared of snow at all. Even worse, the plows pushed all the snow from Hawthorne into a huge pile blocking the Hawthorne end of the path, so that it is completely impassable. This is totally unacceptable treatment of brand new city infrastructure, which is intended to be a transportation route.

Ralston Drive has not been salted and plowed in days, or possibly at all. The street runs from Rogers to Rockport and both ends are very bad. It is the worst road we have had to travel on in town. It is difficult to get out of our own road and we are in city limits. If someone could please rectify this problem.
