Snow not cleared from sidewalk after snowfall of January 10-11
The City (?) plowed the alley to the east of 321 S Eagleson, creating a mound blocking several parking places. Two-fold request if this is in fact a City plow: 1) Please move the mound a little further north to open up private property parking behind 321 S Eagleson. 2) Please advise your plows to refrain from plowing additional snow and blocking the parking areas behind 321 S Eagleson's private parking areas. Thank you.
There has been no attempt to remove snow from the bike lane on 3rd St. between Eagleson and at least Woodlawn. Also in front of Forest Quadrangle where there is some paint marking more separation than just a few inches from the car lane.
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.
The Hawthorne -Weatherstone path is still entirely unplowed. The giant pile of snow at one end was reduced but it is still entirely impassable on a bike. I reported this a week ago and nothing has been done. https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=200058
Both sides of Henderson on this block are snowpacked and icy—dangerous for pedestrians. People are having to walk in the street to avoid the ice. Much of the sidewalk from First to campus is icy.
We did our best to clear the snow from this public alley last week, but the bottom layer was frozen to the street and we were unable to remove it. At this point it is very icy and we have seen several people slip and one person fall, especially when walking up and down the incline. We have also seen cars sliding on the ice, unable to brake properly. If there is any way this alley street could be salted in order to prevent future falls before it gets even colder this weekend that would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.
Ice not removed on most of the block, very slick
