Road isnt plowed still and we live at the bottom of the hill, extremely hard to leave our homes
Road isnt plowed still and we live at the bottom of the hill, extremely hard to leave our homes
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.
All of W 6th St
there is still snow on the sidewalks.... at W. 4th & S. Gentry (Bank One)
None of the businesses between Curry and Liberty on 3rd have cleared their sidewalks.
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?
The cul-de-sac at Treadwell lane was not cleared. There is no place to put trash and recycling containers to be put out tonight (Jan. 7, 2025)
ONLY 2-3 HOUSES HAVE REMOVED SNOW FROM THE SIDEWALK ON THE STANDS DRIVE.
S Covey Lane has yet to be plowed as of Tuesday afternoon... it is a dead-end road, but it seems unusual to not be plowed out by Tuesday following a Sunday storm... someone else mentioned that in past years it would have been plowed on Sunday night and then again on Monday, and that sounds about right.
