Please clear major sidewalks. Clearance of the roads seems to be a priority, but not the sidewalks if we want to have a city that people can walk around in. We need to clear sidewalks when there is snow otherwise it’s very treacherous and then people will just only drive around, which is not our state of goal for the city
The entire next block on East Third (three houses) from my corner (3501 E 3rd) is covered with snow. But WORSE THAN THAT is the steep snow on the corner leading into that block, from the city plows that throw it aside, and it collects and collects. Two days ago I got STUCK in the heavy wet snow on the corner of East Third and Morningside (not my block, but the adjacent one going towards the car dealership) … and I could not move! The snow was so heavy and wet that I couldn’t get out of it! I had to ROLL DOWN INTO MONRINGSIDE DRIVE, then get on my knees, and thank God, finally push my way up with my hands from the ground. I am 76. This was embarassing and dangerous. I notified the Mayor. Her secretary April was gracious and said that I should file a ureport. So this is my report and I’m am MORE UPSET with the city plows and the huge mess left on street corners, than I am upset with my three neighboring houses. Yes, they NEED to shovel their sidewalks. But from what I was told from a Bloomingfoods Manager (Jacob) it is the city’s responsibility to clean the curbs! I don’t drive, so I need to be able to walk when it snows. Check MY DRIVEWAY and my sidewalk. I always shovel or have it shoveled. That is my responsibility. Please check into that block and give them the reminder that they need to hire it done or do it themselves. And please do something about your responsibility on these heavy curbs filled with snow plow snow.

There is a gap with no sidewalk on South Rockport Rd going down the hill after passing CountryView Apts. This is very dangerous, because you have to walk on the road which is on a hill into oncoming traffic to get to the rest of the sidewalk. I use this (broken) sidewalk alot with my children to go to the park. But after a close call of a car swerved to miss us & almost got hit by another car that was coming over the hill. I know alot of people use this sidewalk & its been long over due to be fixed. I hope this & more sidewalks in this area will be on the agenda this year. Thank You
Alley between Union and Bryan, just north of 5th is barely passable in a small passenger car due to vehicles poorly parked in the alley. One of the vehicles is a yellow VW Bug.
After parking four cars in the alley, these left and a single car was left in the alley, as well as the private basketballhoop that should not be stored in the public alley. Request No parking sign to be placed here as well as removal of stored basketball hoop and pails with iron fenceholders. Illegal frat uses alley as private storage and parking lot.
Any Chance we could not block off the bypass during rush hour traffic?
