Alleys covered in ice
Snow removal needed more than 24 hours after snowfall
Sidewalk on west side of Walnut St just north of the intersection near Juan Sells building has not been cleared and is solid ice causing me to almost fall trying to get to the crosswalk.
Is the alley to the east of Eagleson that runs parallel and in between third and Atwater a public walkway? It appears that whoever was clearing E. State Court pushed snow onto the walkway, leaving only two or 3 inches between a very tall pile of snow and some sort of drainage ditch. It makes that area extremely hazardous to walk in.
The construction site flood lights are left on all night, pointed into the houses. It is causing it to look like daytime at night time. Is there anything that can be done about it? No one is present working on the site until 6 am, but these lights are blinding.
The poor dog is always outside howling. Been outside during the snow storm with no shelter. Blue house in the back yard.
I came over to my elderly mother house to remove snow, around noon today. The roads had already been plowed at this time. I shoveled her walk and the sidewalk in front of her home, like a responsible member of the community. All homeowners are required by law, if they are shared with a public sidewalk we have to maintain said sidewalk. I came back to over to her house a few hours later to discover a plow came to plow the gutter area. Mind you the road has already been plowed, so by plowing the small insignificant portion of the road, the driver essentially cover the sidewalk with a icy mix of snow and slush. Now, I have to remove the snow yet again because it’s even more of a hazard now. Since chunks of ice are scattered along the sidewalk. Honestly, that driver should clean the sidewalk or someone from the the city, because this is unacceptable, it created a hazard and for what? To plow the gutters!? Response is needed.
Dog is always outside, no dog house even in the snow.
This is the second year that I have noticed this issue, the roads at Atlas on 17th apartment complex are poorly plowed and not salted. Last year, a car slid and hit my parked car, today someone crashed into a pole, and I have consistently seen people sliding around the curve and up the hill. I called the apartment complex and they said it is a city issue because it is a city street. The other streets in Bloomington are perfectly plowed and salted but here there always seem to be plow and salt problems.
Asphalt broke free during snow plowing in front of 1451 W Estate Drive. Requesting a fix to help prevent further spread of broken asphalt.
