What's the plan for plowing the streets? Usually the trucks are out immediately but haven't seen or heard any in Sycamore Knolls. I do understand the crews may be busy with main roads but am curious about when they'll get here. bevmusic@pacbell.net 812 606-9466
We have not had a snow plow once up our street and we cannot get out to take care of essential work (husband’s job) plus to care for our elderly parents. We live in Park Ridge East, we figured our road would get one plow at least within the 24 hours since it started snowing. We fear the plows just aren’t coming up our cul de sac. We hope that we can get added to the route soon.
Patterson Drive, especially at the Intersection with W Third Street/Isaac Drive, is covered with snow and there is zero visibility of the road lines or even where curbs are. I have watched cars slide due to lack of salt on the roads and I have watched cars run over curbs and unintentionally drive on the sidewalk because you can’t see where the road is especially at night. My car shown in the image was parked along Patterson (public Bloomington parking zone, not private lot) before the snow came, so that can be used as a reference for where the road is. If snow will continue to heavily fall, making plowing difficult, could reflective traffic cones be placed to outline where the curbs are for drivers to see even when snow is covering the roads? This intersection proves to be a relatively common spot for accidents even in daylight during the Summer, so I am especially worried for the winter months. The driving path to get from the intersection into the gas station also is in poor condition, but that may be private property (meaning, it is the responsibility of the gas station to clear the snow). Thank you :)
Just a reminder that the Winslow Farm neighborhood has several traffic islands (circles) that are city streets. There has been some confusion in the past about whether the snow plows show clean the roads around those islands. Our house is located on one of them, but there are several other circles in Winslow Farm.
We hope you remember Windermere Woods Dr is a city street that is included iin plowing and deicing.
Hi, this is not a big deal today, but you have always salted the street at least to the bottom of the hill. I realize it's a dead end street, but they stopped just before the hill last night. I hope they will go a little further next time so it will be easier to get up the hill if the road gets really bad. Thanks for all you do!
Deborah Drive and Schmalz Blvd in front of World Wide Automotive is very slick today. Sanding would be greatly appreciated!
Area needing snow removal: E. Longview Ave. from the east entry corner of Kingston to the Park Ridge Park. No removal during snow for some reason - it's a mess. Removal today please - it is hazardous.
3766 S Claybridge Drive. Cul de Sac has not been cleared of snow to allow cars, mail and trash access. In my 9 years at this address, I have never seen such a poor job of attempting to clear the cul de sac. We have had numerous cars stuck while attempting to get into drive ways. Can we can the street dept to re-plow?
Snow plow and salt/sand request. Trucks do a great job at the front of the Westbrook Downs neighborhood but they don't appear to have used any kind of salt/sand or super scrap the back part of the neighborhood. This particular section (just prior to the Crider St turn) has a small hill that for 3 days running I've been unable to make it and had to back up and go the other way. Typically they hit this section as much as they do the front. Thanks for all you do!
