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
Sidewalks in front of the Montessori School have not had the snow removed since January 6th with the first big snow fall. The sidewalks are now entirely ice and very slippery. Several people in the neighborhood, including myself, rely on those sidewalks for walking their dogs, walking to the YMCA, etc.
There has been no attempt to remove snow from the sidewalk in front of apartment complex/housing duplex. The sidewalks are now completely iced over making it very dangerous to walk on, especially if heading north down the hill.
YMCA Fieldhouse has made no attempt to remove snow on the sidewalks off S Highland Ave and E Short Street. The sidewalks are iced over and very slippery. This makes travel on these sidewalks dangerous.
Sidewalk going down Henderson between Timber Ridge and South High School are still completely covered in snow. This forces kids walking from South to Timber Ridge to cross the road unnecessarily twice in order to get home.
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.
The corner and sidewalk along 2nd street next to Big Red Liquors is treacherous. Ice covered and hasn’t been touched since the first snow early last week.

First, I want to thank you for keeping up with the snow and ice removal over the last several days! I know the city has been extremely busy clearing the snow and ice, and I cannot overstate how much your efforts are appreciated! I do, however, want to alert you to an issue that I've noticed at several intersections/crosswalks in this area. I noticed this issue at both the intersections of Henderson & Atwater and Henderson & Smith (hence why I've chosen a location between the two). I've attached a picture of the intersection at Henderson & Smith [taken at around 10:20 this morning, facing East] to illustrate. These sidewalks have been cleared in one direction (generally toward campus), but the sidewalks that run East/West have been completely blocked off. The ends of these sidewalks are blocked by piles of snow and ice that are 2 or 3 feet tall - taller than the fire hydrants (see picture). This means that anyone who needs to use the sidewalk has to walk out into the road in order to cross the street, which puts both pedestrians and drivers at risk, especially when the rest of the street is covered in ice. Additionally, this is a HUGE accessibility issue - anyone who has mobility issues and/or uses mobility aids, has a service animal, or is similarly impacted by blocked sidewalks will be greatly impacted. These piles of snow will only get worse with the impending snowfall tomorrow, and these will be even more of an issue. Again, I completely understand how busy the city is, and I imagine you're getting similar complaints every couple of minutes. Clearing one sidewalk, however, should not be at the detriment of another. Thank you for your time and your efforts!
Trash collection was on Tuesday. It's Thursday and the cans are still out on Ballantine Rd. north of Hunter.
