1st street between Fess and Woodlawn is treacherous with coatings of ice on sidewalks, mostly outside visibly-advertised rental properties. The stretch of Woodlawn from First through Atwater is especially bad, so that pedestrians are simply walking on the street.
A large percentage (30%+) of sidewalks in the Bryan Park neighborhood are still covered with snow or ice which makes walking, running and pushing strollers very difficult. I understand there is an ordinance that stipulates fines if the snow or ice has not been removed 24hrs after the end of the weather event but it does not appear to be enforced. Many of the addresses appear to be rentals as well.
Sidewalks along Patterson near church on the N side of the street have not been cleared from recent snow. Two people were walking in the street last night to avoid them. Please enforce snow removal along this pedestrian corridor.
This property had snow on the sidewalks for a week, as did all properties in the neighborhood under Parker Management. The issue was reported to HAND early on, but by the time they acted on it the snow had turned into glaciers that are nearly impossible to remove, and they did so by issuing a fine to the tenants of the property on the first day of the semester and when no shovels are available in any store, whereas they should be fining the *property owner* as per City Code: "6.07.010 - Snow and ice removal—Duty of abutting property owner." (Note especially the 36"-wide path requirement.) The Lincoln side of the property is still not shoveled. Will HAND issue daily fines to the management until they comply with the City ordinance?
On North Walnut Street between 10th Street and 17th streets on both sides of the road, there are several properties with sidewalks still covered with ice and snow, in apparent violation of the city's ordinance on sidewalk snow removal (BMC 6.07.010). The icy goat trails that are worn into the snow are a testament to the practical need for these sidewalks as a way to get from Point A to Point B. As the photo illustrates, some people opt to just walk in the road, instead of trying to navigate the icy goat trails. As the photo also shows, some property owners have been able to achieve clear and dry sidewalks. I would therefore request that this stretch of roadway be reviewed by HAND enforcement staff and that the available punishments under the law be applied to these properties.
Sidewalk going down Henderson between Timber Ridge and South High School are still completely covered in snow. This forces kids walking from South to Timber Ridge to cross the road unnecessarily twice in order to get home.
This is an unoccupied Airbnb property and has not cleared any of the snow from last week. The sidewalk is covered in snow and ice.
The sidewalk by the parking lot is covered in snow that has become packed into ice. It is very slick and is a falling hazard. I have to cross this sidewalk every day to get to the IU campus.
