Sidewalk impassable with snow
Sidewalk impassable with snow
The snow plow plowed one alley to the north, drove over the snowed in road with the plow up while I was cleaning the road snow off my wheels, drove around the block and did it again while looking at me. They wanted me to know they were not plowing this section of the road. I do not know them. I did not interact with them. They just glowered at me while I was cleaning off my car and purposefully refuse to plow North Maple St. Please address this harassing behavior. Plow the city road that is next to my driveway without purposefully plowing it into my drive, which is how they plowed it the last time. I have no idea what their issue is. I don't care. I care that people do the jobs they are paid to do like responsible adults, not petulant teens who wanted me to applaud or something.
Great job on the part of a city of Bloomington snow plow! While cleaning off our driveway at 5:30 this evening, the city plow/truck came up the street. I was sure the truck would plow up a tall trail of snow at the foot of our driveway (which I had just cleared). Instead, the driver shifted the plow blade the other direction as the truck came past me on the driveway! This action was so kind and thoughtful that I wanted you to know about it right away. The driver should be commended for his quick understanding and caring response. Kudos to that wonderful guy!
Parker Management openly admits that they will not shovel sidewalks or cut lawns unless someone complains. They should be fined for not shoveling by now. They have attended to *none* of the properties they are supposedly responsible for. This is just one example of multiple properties in the neighborhood. They say that it will eventually melt on its own.
The McDonald's at 3rd and Pete Ellis has not fulfilled their legal obligation to remove snow from their sidewalks. Photo taken January 12th at 1:47 PM.
Lots of snow is still covering the road. There is no visibility of sidewalks. Cars are going to slide.

Street light out. 700 block of W 4th Street between Fairview and Maple. North side of street at alley
Wednesday evening 7:30pm: maroon Toyota Rav4 with New Jersey license plates traveling west on 12th Street turned south on Lincoln (against the One-Way direction) and then speeded to the alley where it turned and parked in the back (north side) of this house. This almost caused an accident, and is a recurring problem with this particular address and vehicle ever since August when the new occupants moved in. Likely an undergraduate, possibly one who is either illiterate or just intellectually handicapped, or perhaps the person simply feels entitled to break Indiana driving laws (maybe there are no laws in New Jersey), but more likely it is just an inconsiderate, self-serving, and dangerous person who disregards rules that s/he deems inconvenient and someone who needs to be held accountable. Please do something about this - pedestrians (human and otherwise) rely on the manner and direction of traffic to be consistent and are not expecting vehicles traveling at relatively high rates of speed and headed in the wrong direction.
