There is a pile of sand and rocks covering the bike line as it shifts.
There is a pile of sand and rocks covering the bike line as it shifts.
There is a large amount of gravel and sand in the street at the southwest portion of the intersection of E. Atwater and Swain Ave. This has created treacherous conditions for cyclists traveling east on Atwater and turning south onto Swain.
The sidewalk on the south side of the street between the BLine trail and Morton street has an accumulation of sand at the midpoint. The amount is enough to prevent being able to walk on that section of the sidewalk. thank you!
Sidewalks underneath the RR underpass on Smith Road (between 3rd & 10th) have accumulated sand, glass & trash and become hazardous for walking or running.
Concerned that street sweepers miss the edges of the roads next to curbs, especially in her area where there is a slight drop off along 2nd street between the pavement and the curb. She has cleaned up 22 bags of sand in her block and will have them removed, but wants to know if there is somewhere that citizens can take the sand if they clean it up themselves. Is there a pile somewhere that they can add to?

Public Works received this via e-mail. The sidewalk near the intersection of Smith Road and Grandview Drive, underneath the railroad tracks is still unswept from the winter's sanding of the streets. Weeds are also growing and it just looks bad. Mr. Arvesen states that this is the third year in a row that he has contacted the city about this problem.
Mr. Walls is very happy that sand on the streets is removed once not needed, especially for children riding bikes etc., but he wonders why the city doesn't "filter/screen" it to recycle it for use during the rest of the winter season? He noted the method of "screening" for re-use - has street dept. considered this? He thinks it would be more cost-effective. If screening for re-use is NOT feasible, could sand be recycled for use as "fill material" for other city projects (Utilities dept.)?
