between Grant and Mitchell
west side of road between W. Parrish Road and W. State Road 45/46 Bypass has not been shovelled in months
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.
Woodscrest sidewalks at Eastland Plaza and the 2nd st and college mall sidewalks by CVS and O'Malia's.
Most of Woodhill Dr needs the sidewalks shoveled.
Sidepath along Weatherstone needs to be shoveled! It is City property. Also, the fence along the side path needs to be removed. Several trees have fallen on it and it hangs over the side path.
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.
This morning, November 10, on my son’s way to school, he slid off the road and damaged his car. He was not going to fast, nor could he have done anything to prevent it as he hit a patch of ice on a curve. While a somewhat new driver comparatively, he has experience navigating slick conditions from growing up racing and riding 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, etc. The reason he slid off the road is because it was not salted, sanded or treated in any way. The road, Acuff, is a road traveled by many students to get to Bloomington North. As he sat and waited for his Father to help him, he witnessed numerous cars almost run into him, do 360’s, and hit curbs. Why this road wasn’t a priority being a route to the school is baffling. I hope roads that are connected to school parking lots will become a priority, especially as in this case when the weather was no surprise.
I submitted a complaint, case #206728 and Cheyenne Bowlen was assigned to it. I was told that the city does not do past 100 ft off of Kinser pike, and that it was the county’s responsibility and to reach out to them. I did. They said it is, in fact the city’s responsibility to do Acuff, and that they only have responsibility of Prow, just before it turns to Acuff. The county was confident and firm in their boundaries. So, either one of you is wrong, or there is an unfortunately placed gap in service, as it is a very sharp curve that happens to be the route many kids drive themselves to and from school. Please look into this with consideration to the kids.
