snow not fully removed
I walked to Switchyard Park yesterday afternoon. The walk was difficult and dangerous because sidewalks were not cleared of snow on Walnut (Hillside to park entrance) and Grimes (park entrance to Washington Street). The sidewalks were impassable forcing me to walk in the street. Thanks.
The sidewalks on both sides of Hillside in front of Woodlawn Crossing Apts (owned by Abodes) and Carlisle Brake Friction have no attempt at clearing snow. Most of the residence on Hillside have cleared their sidewalks, but these places have not meaning you either need knee-high boots to stay on the sidewalk or walk out in the busy street.
Snow remains on the sidewalk in front of a vacant building in the 400 block of South Walnut, across from Bedrak Cafe, and on West Third at Madison, in front of the Bloomington Thrift Store. Thank you.
Please enforce your snow removal ordinance in the downtown area. It was treacherous today in an area that is supposed to be pedestrian-friendly. Thanks.
North sidewalk along E 3rd, from Lincoln to Grant, is uncleared of snow. It's a difficult walk. Thank you.
Not clearing snow
Please enforce the sidewalk snow removal ordinance better, particularly downtown. Please require property owners to not only clear the sidewalk, but also the adjacent curb cuts and alleys (or the city should clear alleys at sidewalks). It’s not very helpful to have clear sidewalks, but them have to cross a slushy mess at the curb cuts or alleys. Some people make a narrow path at the curb, but those just get slushy and messy quickly, and are not wide enough for wheelchairs. Thank you.
Snow piled against curb on the Square, intended to clear street, was about two feet wide and a foot plus high. To get from my car to sidewalk meant trying to keep my balance while taking a very big step. I wasn’t very successful.
