Received complaint from 74-year old lady that Bloomington Housing Authority will not clear the sidewalks of ice and snow.
Mr. & Mrs. Hawkins receiving mixed messages about whether City actually is responsible for snow removal on their cul de sac. Their address doesn't seem to be on the list for snow removal so they must call each time snow removal is required. Chris, please clarify.
Owner, Trenton Jones, has not cleaned ice and snow from the sidewalks, and since it snowed again last night; the problem is worse.
The sidewalk in front of the old Lung Chung restaurant (between 4th and 5th St.) has not been cleared of snow and ice. Mr. Moncel fell in front of this establishment.
Sidewalks and parking lot not cleared of snow and ice.
Mr. Mitchell called to express concern regarding the current use of plain salt on the streets instead of a salt/sand mixture. He believes more damage is done to the car and street than necessary for that type of removal technique.
Ms. Hollars said the roads around her neighborhood were slick this morning and there wasn't anything done about it. (She also mentioned roads were slick around Rockport Rd. and Batchelor Middle School--County?)
Laurie has not seen 1 city truck in Blue Ridge to put sand on their streets. Laurie only has 2 ways of exiting the neighborhood, 1 exits to Walnut, the other to Dunn. There are many steep hills that pose a particular problem, especially where Blue Ridge Dr. and Blue Slopes Dr. intersect. There's a 3 way stop where these streets meet, where children wait for the bus. It's just matter of time before a child is hit b/c of uncontrollable sliding. Also, she has spoken to Jason Banach about this.
Wants Mayor to know snow removal Sunday was pathetic. He didn't see any trucks at all. Is this where you're cutting corners to provide benefits for domestic partners. He saw 5 traffic accidents and his car skidded on the slick streets.
