The area around the intersection of E 20th and N Washington St is a sheet of thick ice. I run a trash company here in town, and we are having issues servicing customers due to this issue.
Dead animal in the road near end of driveway.
No snow removal from sidewalk on High St., now solid ice. This is a high pedestrian and traffic volume area. Very dangerous.
Failed to remove snow from sidewalk. Now solid ice. Very treacherous on a high pedestrian and traffic volume road.
I had called the sanitation dept phone number this morning as our yard waste can wasn't collected this week. After listening the to the message about yard waste on the phone automated machine I realized I wasn't sure if pumpkins were collected or if I was over weight on the re usable can. I called to connect to a representative and I regret I didn't get the gentleman's name at aprox 0755 am on 4 dec. He was extremely helpful and I was looking for a place to leave a compliment for dept employees. I don't want to say the bar is low because it devalues my intent but I really appreciate the person answered the phone promptly, inquired into my problem, and immediately offered a solution all while being polite and professional. I wanted to say thanks and thank the employee for their civil service. I'd prefer this not be part of public record or anonymized if used as such.

Water pressure seems low and fluctuates in a pattern
Sidepath on north side of 17th St between Lincoln and Dunn is covered with ice across the whole width. There is a short stretch in the middle that is clear, but most of it is covered with ice. This is a sidepath and the city is supposed to be responsible for maintaining it. Pedestrians and cyclists are supposed to be first class transportation users. Thanks!
I strongly second this Ureport: #207017 " .. Bricks are slipperier than concrete when wet ". This is a well known problem, along with brick walks being more expensive to maintain, and prone to problems. If this news report is correct, https://bsquarebulletin.com/brick-fix-okd-for-kirkwood-avenue-at-491k-cost/, Adam Wason says city is now not planning to replace slippery, unsafe brick sidewalk because "it looks iconic". Please reconsider this opinion, that looks triumph over safety. I do not have walking problems, but I have often slipped on the brick sidewalks in nearby IU area that are often wet, slick, iced and uneven when concrete walks are fine.
Snow plow dumps 3 foot high pile across this sidewalk b/n E. State Ct. and Eagleson Ave. making pedestrian passage impossible. This happens every snow for years now. Was told at nearby dental office with plowed parking that city snow plow is doing this. The plower may not understand this snow dump is blocking a sidewalk that is used by many people.
Sidewalks left unshovled are causing dangerous conditions for pedestrian on or off the sidewalk.
