Mr. Clayton's sister, Florence called for him. He says that when we do snow removal we push all the snow and sand into his flower bed and that this can be avoided. There's a big pile of sand there now and he wants to know if we'll remove it. Also says we picked up everyone's leaves this year except his.
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?
Sidewalks underneath the RR underpass on Smith Road (between 3rd & 10th) have accumulated sand, glass & trash and become hazardous for walking or running.
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.)?
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.
