Hi, Kudos to Parks and Rec for their excellent snow removal on the parking lot and some of the trails at the Rogers Family Park (Goat Farm) at High and Winslow! I truly appreciate being able to get my dog out for a walk there. However, if I walk to the park (instead of driving) the SIDEWALK leading into the park is literally a sheet of ice. Does the City need to remove snow/ice from sidewalks or just stores and property owners? This seems quite hypocritical and dangerous!
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.
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.
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.
Many of the B-line crossings (between Allen and 7th St) have major ice buildup. The intersection at Allen St with the trail is a full sheet of ice.
Today I was unable to walk from Bloom Dental to the mall because the sidewalks in this area have not been touched. There are long lengths of public sidewalk in this area that remain inaccessible four days after the snow stopped falling. Thank you.
No attempt to clear
No attempt to clear snow from sidewalk from the Jan 4 and Jan 10 snowfall. The deep snow forces people to walk on the street which can often be busy with cars.
