Snow removal at entrance off of walnut and the 45/46 entrance we were told was maintained by city, no one came Friday and both entrances are hard to access without 4 wheel drive.
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.
I understand we have had a lot of snow and y’all are doing the best you can however, Pinewood Drive really needs plowed and or salt put down. With the grade in the road it is difficult for cars like mine to make it up the incline.
Curry Pike is nearly always left snow covered while other streets like w. 3rd and Bloomfield Road are well cleared. Who is responsible for Curry Pk, the City or County?
I understand you are all probably really busy with the snow. It would be greatly appreciated if you could run a plow through this neighborhood. The streets have not yet had any plow run through it. The neighbor have tried to shovel and snowblow some parts of the streets, but it really just needs at least one pass through by a plow. Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
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.
I live at the corner of Kirkwood and Elm Street. I am disabled and have a caregiver coming this morning. There is nowhere for her to park. The snow plow rather than have the blade plow the snow piled up near the cemetery retaining wall, has plowed a huge bank of snow near the sidewalk and has blocked me in my garage. I am trapped and not able to leave. I cannot shovel the snow because of my disabling conditions. There’s nowhere for my caregiver to park. Please help, I’m trapped. Also, when I called yesterday evening to report the issue 812–349–3448, someone named Jared, the operator, was very condescending and sarcastic on the phone to me. Extremely cavalier and quite nasty. It seems as though he delighted in telling me that there wasn’t anything that could be done. His tone and inflection were both rude and patronizing. Thanks, Erica Payne
When possible, requesting snow plow service
Hi, just putting a request in for snow removal for the alley I live on if/when you're able to get to it. My house is in the alley between Kirkwood and 4th, and there's been no plowing here since it began snowing a week or two ago. It's normally not a big issue other than the ice that builds up and makes walking dangerous, but after this storm I'm pretty well blocked in completely. The complicating factor is that this is a fairly narrow alley, with a drainage ditch at one point that can make navigating it with large equipment dicey - I wouldn't recommend anything bigger than a pickup with a plow come through, if you are in fact able to dispatch anyone here anytime soon. I understand that even if you can it may be a while, but wanted to put the request in regardless, as the postal service is having a less than ideal time getting down here and the snow compacts into ice if it isn't cleared. I'd very much appreciate it if you can make it, even if it won't be for a bit. Many thanks either way!
Every year, salt and snow removal consistently stops before the end of Cherokee Drive and our driveway - the photo included shows the street where the salt stops and where our driveway begins. I'm submitting this to ask that snow plows and salt trucks go at least to the end of Cherokee Drive. Thanks.
