Thanks for reaching out. Our standard practice is to call in all resources as soon as we know snow is going to begin accumulating. When rain/sleet is not forecasted, and we're expecting accumulation to start as ice or snow, we apply brine in advance to assist with our efforts. If rain is expected, the brine would simply wash away and not be effective. As snow begins to fall, we salt all routes with the hopes that it will melt accumulation before plowing becomes necessary. Depending on the road classification, the frequency of treatment and salting and plowing will vary. The busier the road, the higher frequency of treatment, as these are the roads public safety will use to get to and from emergencies. Beyond that we do our best to get roadways down to surface before we begin cycling crews out for rest and recovery.

Dear Constituent:
Thank you for submitting information to us via uReport. We value your input and hope that we will be able to address your questions and concerns. In accordance with Bloomington Municipal Code 6.07.010 (a), a property owner gets 24 hours after the snow or ice has ceased to fall or in any way accumulate to remove it before we can issue a violation. In the event of a violation, the neighborhood compliance officer will issue a Notice of Violation (NOV) to the property owners via first class mail and by placing a copy of the notice of violation on the property.
Please be mindful of this process while we work with your neighbors to resolve this issue.
Thank you,
HAND staff
