Resident phoned to report that some areas of the sidewalk along the Henderson side of Bryan Park are not clear of snow/ice, making pedestrian travel treacherous. This sidewalk is on Parks property.
The B-line is rapidly developing an icing situation. Thank you for plowing it this year! But we need to respond more promptly to the situation a couple days after the snow falls. The remaining traces of snow turn into ice. A small amount of targetted salt would solve it, as it is mostly isolated spots. But it is a real hazard and will be until it's treated, as this cold is likely to stick around. Thanks!
The B-line crossing at Rogers (near 10th & Rogers) needs to be plowed. It's been too many years for Parks & Rec to not know that the intersections are a key component of the network. The mud-slush-ice-snow-curb crossing south of the official crossing is a travesty.
The majority of the sidewalk in front of Southeast Park, Arden/Montclair has been covered in ice for weeks. I believe that this is the City's responsibility and wonder why it has not been cleared. I frequently see BPD Resource Officers driving by this area and wonder why they cannot be involved in reporting ice-covered sidewalks? This seems like a massive public safety issue and one that they are well suited to assist in. Thank you.
Snow and ice not removed from sidewalk, north side of 3rd St., west of College leading to the B-line.
Snow and ice not removed from sidewalk, south side of 3rd St. running along the north side of the convention center (west of College), including the stairs up to the B-line.
There is a fair amount of ice on the trail between 3rd and 4th. I know it may be melted before anyone checks this out, but I wanted to mention it to remind the city that it should comply with its own ordinance. Yesterday I complained about snow on the sidewalk leading to the trail and the overpass on the north side of third. Today the section adjacent to Vectren was fairly clear, and I appreciate that, but not along the closed former motorcycle shop at the corner of 3rd and Madison. I know the city wants to be bicycle and pedestrian friendly, and built the trail to help achieve that goal. But if the trail and the access paths to the trail are not passable, you are falling far short of that goal. The snow stopped ten days ago. Every road has been clear for more than a week, as have parking lots. But the sidewalks still suck. It’s obvious by the city’s actions where its priorities are. Please consider raising the fines for snow removal violations, and sharing the fees with the people who report the violations. I’d make a mint. Thank you.
Several sections of the multiuse path/sidewalk on the north side of W. Country Club Rd. have not been cleared, especially the section near Burger King and the section next to Foundation Building Materials are a thick sheet of ice.
The sidewalks going up to the trail and overpass on 3rd St are still awful.
The B-line trail pavement stones are completely iced over. I fell going through this part between Kirkwood and 4th St today and watched many others tip-toe through. It needs salt to melt the ice ASAP!
