Street Snow Removal
1214 S Washington ST
- Case Date:
- 12/22/2004
elderly gentlemen phoned in that he shoveled his walk and a city plow truck went by and put at least 3-4 inches of snow back onto his sidewalk. He is extremely unhappy about this and wanted to file a complaint.
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!
snow and ice on sidewalks around property
During the last snow, this road was missed during the removal process. We want to confirm that this is a street that is maintained byt he city.
In the past the city of Bloomington has cleared snow on the street at 1250 W Adams Hill Circle (Countryside is the cross street). Is this still the case? I've seen the company our HOA employs to clean snow, plowing this street last week and today (1/15/18). Can you confirm that this should be cleaned by the city?
Snow still on sidewalks. Others also in West Pointe neighborhood. Not the first time, people get lazy and sidewalks turn to ice :(
