South side sidewalk is all ice. Very unsafe. Needs ice melt .
I live across from Rosehill and walked into town today. Many of my neighbors had not yet shoveled their walks, making me walk in the street, which is never a great idea. The worse address was 516 W 3rd, but there were many bad sports between my house and downtown (and some bad spots downtown). It’s been more than 24 hours since the snow stopped. Please remind people about the snow removal ordinance, and please do a much better job of enforcing it. Thank you.
I’m beyond disappointed that the city is planning to replace the brick sidewalks downtown with more bricks. The ADA requires that sidewalks be firm, stable and slip resistant. Bricks are slipperier than concrete when wet, and bricks are prone to breaking or get dislodged. The city has not maintained its existing brick sidewalks well. Please reconsider this decision, and please consult your accessibility committee before you go forth with this misguided project. Safety should prevail over looks.
Alleys covered in ice
Snow removal needed more than 24 hours after snowfall
Sidewalk on west side of Walnut St just north of the intersection near Juan Sells building has not been cleared and is solid ice causing me to almost fall trying to get to the crosswalk.
Is the alley to the east of Eagleson that runs parallel and in between third and Atwater a public walkway? It appears that whoever was clearing E. State Court pushed snow onto the walkway, leaving only two or 3 inches between a very tall pile of snow and some sort of drainage ditch. It makes that area extremely hazardous to walk in.
The construction site flood lights are left on all night, pointed into the houses. It is causing it to look like daytime at night time. Is there anything that can be done about it? No one is present working on the site until 6 am, but these lights are blinding.
The poor dog is always outside howling. Been outside during the snow storm with no shelter. Blue house in the back yard.
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.
