The sidewalks near and on IU campus are very poorly plowed. Some are cleared, but others are quite treacherous -- packed-down snow, unavoidable ice, and deeply plowed snow that's blocking basically all ways to get off the sidewalk if you have to cross the street. I parked in the lot on Indiana by BBC and struggled to walk up Indiana, Dunn Meadow, 7th, Park, and 8th. IU hasn't issued any warning to staff (in fact, they haven't sent a single email about the snow at all). I can't imagine how difficult it would be for someone with limited mobility to come to work today!
Clarification for case #199848: We believe the report was meant for 415 E. 10th. The people involved with the demolition are *very* amateurish - blocking traffic by running out in the street, and the bucket used to tear down the building almost fell over a couple times. hould have been done more systematic so that some of the materials could have been saved. Did they even have a permit to do this? This is a Brawley slum rental, currently listed for sale: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/415-417-E-10th-St-Bloomington-IN-47408/442693160_zpid/
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?
