Road still has not been removed. Cars keep getting stuck including delivery drivers, utility workers, and residents. We normally have snow plows come down here. Not sure why this year is different.
Streets are still unplowed in the downtown neighborhood of McDoel Gardens four days after a snow emergency was declared. Residents do not appreciate that basic services have been dropped now that the hospital has moved. We are still paying taxes in part to support basic city services.
The gas station at the corner of Grimes and Walnut has created a traffic hazard with snow. Their parking lot was plowed out onto Grimes to the south of their property. The snow pile is blocking 50-75% of the eastbound traffic lane on Grimes. You cannot get by on Grimes headed east if there is traffic in the westbound lane of Grimes. Will the City let the gas station and its snow removal service know that turning their private problem (snow on their property) into a public problem (impeding traffic) is unacceptable? They might need to clean it up or be fined, if not both. The snow pile will not melt very quickly. There is a lot of snow they pushed into the road.
Streets around the old hospital have been neglected in snow plowing. There are elderly residents who live in the area and an ambulance has been called in at least one instance with the snow. Residents would like the streets to be clear of snow.
I do not think the photo uploaded properly on my last submission. It looks like the B-Line Heights Apartment complex pushed snow from its parking lot into the intersection of Rogers and Maker Way. The turn into Maker Way is probably 40-50% blocked by their snow, as you can see in the photo.
Our block was not plowed of snow and salted like the rest of the neighborhood. Our little dead end street is always neglected. Residents would appreciate swift service of fully plowing the block - along with USPS and delivery services!
snow removal on street
I believe the City has forgotten about W. Smith Ave. between S. Madison and S. Morton. For the past two years the street hasn't been plowed by city trucks after snows, and hasn't been treated for icing (evening of Feb 17, 2022 for example). I have lived in this spot for 20+ years, and feel confident something has changed. I attach a picture showing Smith (to the right) and Morton (forground). You can clearly see the ice treatment on Morton but nothing on Smith. Could I ask you to look into this for us? I am, btw, the president of the HOA whose condos live in this area. We have been paying a private contractor to plow the snow on the street, in addition to our own spaces. The city trucks are far more effective, to be honest. ;-) Thank you.
I reside @ 4130 W Briar Gate Dr. Please provide the name of the contractor that plows our area. This guy repeatedly plows snow in front of my mailbox from Willow Bend and he is unable to plow close to the curbs in the neighborhood, about 4 ft away. Better yet, have the guy stop by after 5, I would like to show him how to plow, as I am WIDOT certified and currently am a plow operator for Crane Navy Base.
The hill coming up Deborah Drive is very slick and heavy with snow. Schmalz Rd. also is in great need of snow plow removal. Thank you!
