Ice on the road at 17th & Lindbergh
Hi--we love the work the city road crews do to plow snow and sand for safe travel. We do have one request for our cul-de-sac, though (Skylark Court, east off of Highland Avenue). We'd appreciate it if the plow drivers could return and plow the large pile of snow covering the lone storm water drain off to the side, so as to uncover the drain. Also, in the future, can they please avoid piling snow that storm water drain. It is the drain for the entire cul-de-sac. In the photo, this location is shown approximately by the red arrow. When snow is piled over this drain, as snow melts from anywhere uphill, or if it rains, the snow pile caps off the drain and the bottom of the cul-de-sac floods. The storm water drain is at the bottom of the cul-de-sac, which is all one slope, so A LOT of water runs to that one drain. One concern we have with the flooding is that several utility hook-ups (electricity, telephone, and cable) are just a foot or two away from the drain. Things have been done this way for years, and we have always taken it upon ourselves to shovel the drain clear, but this year we realized it would be a great idea to ask if the plow drivers could do this instead. Thank you!
All city streets have black ice this morning
This is the start of the road and the driveway, snow is plowed where we have to shovel 6 feet into the road. Our cars can’t climb the snow bank to get out.
Housing pipes burst and water has frozen over onto the street.
Our culdesac is never fully plowed when it snows. The driver just comes In and does one sweep. In past years they have gone around the culdesac and managed to clear it entirely.
As I'm sure you know, the Vernal Pike ridge over I-69 was a sheet of ice today. There were incidents and cars were not making it up the hill. This bridge was icy recently when it was not that cold and the roads were not bad elsewhere. Treating this road needs to be a priority.
I live at 105 weldon st and we need snow removal. Mulitiple cars are getting stuck.
