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.
We received a phone call from a constituent who complained that the sidewalk by SpringHill that connects Morton and N College is EXTREMELY icy and she has witnessed numerous people falling at this location.
multiple complaints from hospital staff this morning about the disregard to the snow and ice removal on 1st street directly behind the hospital. many people have traveled in from out of county to work and 1st street was by far the worst road they encountered. our ambulance crew has to use this road to transport patients in as well, and staff have to cross the street to gain access to the building from our parking lots, which results in potential risk for employee injuries.
It's obvious you didn't salt ahead of this storm. The main roads are terrible. You need to get ahead of ice. This is the first time that I've been disappointed in snow removal in Bloomington. Usually, you do a great job.
Since the snow and ice storm yesterday (12 January), Anita Street has not been treated at all -- no plowing, no salt. This is creating unsafe conditions, especially as the snow freezes to rutted ice.
It seems the roads were plowed, however. There is still a considerable amount of snow and slush on the streets in the park ridge east area. This makes it very difficult to drive safely, particularly in hilly and curvy areas.
